The article presents clinical observations of two patients with large metallic foreign bodies (carbine closure in the esophagus and a table spoon in the stomach of a 1.5‑year-old child). The closure was removed from the esophagus endoscopically, but a big size and configuration of a table spoon made a surgery necessary (laparotomy, gastrotomy).

Over the last decade the number of children with peptic ulcer disease has increased. The severity of the course and frequent exacerbation of the process, leading to dangerous complications, dictate the need to find new methods of treatment aimed at accelerating the healing of ulcerous defects.

It is required to perform further studies with greater amount of patients to discover exact small bowel length which is associated with SBS and other factors affecting small bowel state.
