Aim of the work: The aim of the work is to evaluate safety and efficacy of flexible bronchoscopy in foreign body retreival. Patients and methods: The study included 30 patients with foreign body aspiration who recruited from chest, departments from AL Kasr El Einy and Minia university hospitals in the period between october2020 to July 2023. Data collected included baseline demographics (age, sex, history of foreign body aspiration or fits ).

Our results showed that regarding the type of used bronchoscopy, all of FB were removed by flexible fibroptic bronchoscope (100%). Most of FB (70%) were removed by Crocodile forceps while the remaining 30% were removed by Dormia basket. Conclusion:flexible bronchoscopy is an effective and safe treatment modality for foreign inhalation. | ||||
