Foreign Bodies
Foreign bodies refer to objects originating outside the body that are introduced accidentally or intentionally. They can become lodged in various anatomical sites, such as the skin, gastrointestinal tract, or airways, often necessitating medical intervention. Prompt removal of foreign bodies is crucial to prevent complications like infection or tissue damage.
