Twelve patients with exogenous foreign bodies (small chicken and fish bones, portion of wire, nail, cherry stone, piece of glass) of appendix (8) or adjacent zone of caecum (4) were treated. Based on experience of treatment of these patients authors analyze pathogenesis of appendicitis associated with foreign bodies, and other aspects of this problem.
