Treats confirmed foreign bodies outside the throat and esophagus
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial focuses on people whose foreign body is found during surgery in an area outside the throat (pharynx) and esophagus. It tests how to diagnose and treat these situations after surgery confirms what was present.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A surgeon confirmed a foreign object during surgery
- The confirmed foreign object was located outside the throat and esophagus area
- Surgery must have actually found the foreign body
- The foreign body should not be in the throat or the esophagus

This trial studies whether additional treatment before surgery can improve outcomes for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It focuses on those who have already received initial therapy and are scheduled for surgery.
This trial tests whether a bedside ultrasound (an ultrasound done right where you are) can help doctors quickly find a food blockage in the esophagus. If you come to the ER with symptoms of something stuck in your throat, this study may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at the outcomes of bronchoscopy (a procedure where a thin tube with a camera is used to see and remove objects from the airway) in children who may have inhaled a foreign object. The goal is to understand how well this procedure works and what happens afterward.
This study looks at whether using a capped breathing tube for about 48 hours is safe and whether it fits with swallowing training after head and neck surgery. It may help people transition more safely from a breathing tube back toward normal swallowing and breathing.
This trial studies a specialized endoscopy procedure to remove larger abnormal growths in the upper digestive tract. It may help people whose lesion size and depth make certain removal techniques a better fit.
This study is testing a special imaging tool (SPY system) that helps surgeons see blood flow better during surgery to rebuild the throat. The goal is to reduce the risk of fluid leaks (fistulas) after the operation.
