ABSTRACT

Introduction: A missed or neglected foreign body (NFB) is not infrequent in surgical practice. It constitutes a common reason for consultation later; location and removal of foreign bodies can be difficult because of possible inflammation; induration; granulated tissue and fibrous scar. This paper describes a simple method for the quick localization and surgical removal of NFB using two 25 gauge needles. Materials and Methods: In this paper we report the experience of department of plastic and reconstructive surgery in Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital in Rabat; conducted on ten patients in terms of the use of two 25-gauge needles was used in 12 NFB in soft tissue in order to achieve proper localization and fixation of foreign bodies during surgery.Results: Results were satisfactory in most of our Patients; surgical removal was successful in 11 of 12 NFB.Conclusion: Needle guided technique allows the successful surgical removal of NFB using minimal soft tissue exploration and dissection via proper localization; fixation; and propulsion of the foreign body toward the surface of the skin
