Methods:Twelve patients (7 males and 5 females, aged 5 to 56 years).with plant foreign bodies embedded in the deep cornea were treated between July 2011 and December 2012. The course of disease ranged from 1 to 11 d. Four of the patients had wooden foreign bodies, 3 had bamboo foreign bodies, and 5 had flower thorns; all underwent surgical removal. During the surgery,a novel suture needle was used to remove the foreign bodies.For injuries with a deep tunnel caused by the foreign bodies,the tunnel was cut open with a keratome. The foreign bodies were then removed and necrotic tissue was thoroughly debrided.Incisions were closed with interrupted sutures. The corneal foreign bodies were collected postoperatively for fungus and bacterial culture and appropriatemedical treatment was provided. Results: Bacteria were identified in 3 cases, fungus in 3 cases, and no bacteria or fungus in 6 cases.All corneal foreign bodies were embedded deep in the corneal stroma without incidence of full-thickness corneal penetration or intraocular infection. Conclusion:Plant foreign bodies embedded in the deep cornea should be removed immediately. During the surgery, the foreign bodies and surrounding necrotic corneal stroma should be completely removed. The injured cornea should be cut open to eliminate necrotic tissues when necessary. (Eye Science 2013; 28:30-33)展开更多

The use of urogenital foreign bodies for sexual pleasure is a common occurrence in today’s population. The aim of this discussion is the management of scrotal injury caused by magnetic urogenital foreign bodies. Case Presentation: 56-year-old male with scrotal tissue entrapped between two opposed magnet rings. Self-reported attempts at removal were unsuccessful and caused for presentation to the emergency department. Additional attempts at removal by medical staff unsuccessful in emergency department and therefore the patient proceeded to the operating room. Intraoperatively the use of two cardiac magnets allowed for removal without a need for invasive surgical procedure. Conclusion: Cardiac magnets are preferred means of removal for entrapped skin between magnetic foreign bodies that could be utilized at the bedside.展开更多

In this report, a novel endoscopic technique using a pneumatic dilatation balloon normally used in achalasia patients is presented. In addition, a systematic review of the literature was performed for non-operative methods to remove foreign bodies from the rectum. These results are summarised, presented as a practical at-a- glance overview and a flow chart is offered to guide the clinician in treatment decisions. The design of the flow chart was based on the aims to treat the patient preferably on an outpatient basis with minimally invasive techniques and if possible under conscious sedation rather than general anaesthesia.展开更多

Then IOFBs were approached and backsiphoned by using self-made backsiphon syringe needles which were selected according to the size and shape of IOFBs. The IOFBs are removed with the inflow of sodium hyaluronate naturally surging into the needles.Results: Posterior polar IOFBs in 13 cases (13 eyes) were all removed successfully at one time. There were no accidental injuries or complications. The postoperative vision in 11 cases (11 eyes) was improved, unchanged in 1 case (1 eye) and decreased in 1 case ( 1 eye).Conclusions: The technique using viscoelastics to dissociate, suspend and backsiphon IOFBs during the removal of the posterior polar IOFBs can evidently decrease operative difficulty, injury and complications.展开更多

METHODS:Thirty-six patients of MIOFD with endophthalmitis accorded with Exclusion and inclusion criteria were retrospectively analyzed. A detailed analysis of the patients' natural factors, preoperative examinations, intraoperative endotamponades choice, postoperative complications and therapeutic effects was performed. RESULTS: BSS was used in 4 eyes without obvious retinal damage. There was no postoperative complication and their visual acuity (VA) was improved. Sixteen eyes that had mild retinal damage filled with C3F8 gas. The postoperative VA improved in 10 eyes (62.5%), 4 eyes (25.0%) remained unchanged and 2 eyes (12.5%) decreased. Only 2 cases occurred postoperative retinal detachment in gas group. Another 16 eyes with serious retinal damage were treated with silicone oil. Postoperative VA of 9 eyes (56.3%) improved, 3 eyes (18.8%) remained unchanged and 4 eyes (25.0%) decreased. The silicone oil group had higher incidence of postoperative complications, but the incidence of secondary treatment had no significant different between silicone oil and gas group. CONCLUSION: An appropriate choice of endotamponades in vitrectomy surgery for MIOFB with endophthalmitis is important for prognosis.展开更多

After determining that the PTP was present in the stomach, we successfully and safely removed it endoscopically by using a handmade endoscopic hood fashioned from a cut endotracheal tube. Foreign body ingestion is a common clinical problem, and most ingested foreign bodies pass spontaneously. However, the ingestion of sharp objects, such as PTPs, increases the risk of complications, and urgent endoscopy is recommended to remove such objects. Previous studies have reported the use of other devices, both commercial and handmade, for the safe endoscopic removal of foreign bodies. The novel design of our handmade hood for the removal of the PTP, which was fashioned from a cut endotracheal tube, was beneficial in terms of maintaining a wide visual field, patient safety and tolerance, and easy preparation compared to previously reported commercial and handmade devices. It may be a viable and safe device for the retrieval of PTPs and other sharp foreign bodies.展开更多

The condition of surrounding tissues in 2 and 6 months after implantation was compared by light microscopy and X-ray methods. Within 6 months after operation the considerable distinctions of radiological and morphological data were revealed not. 2 months later after introduction of implants with a rough surface the effort enclosed for its twisting is, much more, than for removal of the polished product. However, stability of fixing of implants was practically made even at 6 months. On remote rough implants there is a set of tissue scraps whereas on products with a smooth surface the tissue remains were much less. Surrounding tissues strongly join a rough surface, grow into cavities, and during removal of such products there is a considerable trauma of tissues round an implantation place. Smooth implants have the smaller area of contact with organism tissues, they are fixed due to bicortical implantation, during removal easily get out and don’t break off surrounding tissues. The signs of inflammation and formation of merged multinuclear macrophages were not found at all cases, which give evidence to the inertness of material of the mentioned articles for living organism. In some observations however and by implantation of the rough article and by introduction of polished implants, metal particles were found, but after use of the foreign body with grit-blasted treatment of surface metal was found more frequently, and its fragments had larger volume.展开更多
