Sharp and pointed foreign bodies cause small bowel perforation more frequently than round-tipped objects. In this article, we present a small bowel perforation case of 16 year-old mentally retarded male patient that underwent surgery for the third time for swallowing a number of tree branches who had been undergone two operations previously due to foreign bodies ingestion.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSmall Bowel PerforationTree BranchePerforationArticle654855010.4328/JCAM.3641WOS:000215595200030N/A
