Travel of a mis-swallowed long spoon to the jejunum

A 33-year-old woman accidentally swallowed a 15 cm long spoon while attempting to remove a fish bone from her pharynx. The spoon was found in the lower mid-abdomen on an urgent plain abdominal radiograph and successfully removed during exploratory laparotomy, revealing it had passed into the jejunum after 200 cm of the ligament of Treitz.
