“…Using fluoroscopy to identify the foreign bodies, the sites were marked with methylene blue and were compared against a control group who did not receive methylene blue. The methylene blue group experienced a significantly higher surgical success rate with significantly shorter average operation time 26 . Additionally, fluoroscopy was used significantly less frequently and the incision length was significantly shorter in the methylene blue group 26 .…”

A dog presented for porcupine quills; the client had removed the majority of quills themselves, but due to recurring quills and progressive swelling of the left thoracic limb, referral was recommended. Following preoperative ultrasonography to identify the location of remaining quill fragments, surgical exploration was performed. Approximate quill location was determined with preoperative ultrasound, but quill extraction with solely blunt dissection proved to be challenging. Intraoperative ultrasonography was then utilised to rapidly and successfully identify the remaining fragments and guided the surgeons in complete quill removal. Intraoperative ultrasound hastened the removal of fractured and embedded quills. This case highlights how intraoperative ultrasonography aided in efficiently identifying the location and orientation of embedded quills and thereby guided their surgical removal. It also highlights how imperative early medical intervention for porcupine quills is, in order to avoid disastrous complications.

“…A advantage, this technique allows to obtain images of the foreign body's location in relation to the surgeon's tool reference 13 , such as the tip pen placed extraoral in our case. Thus, it permit a dimensional location of approach and incision placement along the object, preserving anatomic structures, as well decrease the possibility of crossoperative complications; reduce surgical time and tissue manipulation, as also described 5,14 .…”

Foreign bodies can be found in the soft tissues of the face and in the maxillary bones in routine radiographic examinations. In the majority they do not present symptomatology. The removal of foreign bodies without the accurate location can cause severe complications. We present a case of 44-year-old male complaining an unusual foreign body in the lower lip region. Radiography did not reveal the exact location, and did not let a resolution at first time. Subsequently, the surgical treatment was effective with the aid of navigation-assisted fluoroscopy that showed the precise location of the foreign body for removal and avoided more discomfort to the patient.Descriptors: Foreign Bodies; Fluoroscopy; Traumatology.

Objectives: To report a case of ingested wire bristle embedded within the extrinsic musculature of the tongue requiring a transcervical approach for removal and to provide a revised algorithm for the management of ingested wire bristles. Methods: The clinical record of 1 patient who ingested a grill brush wire bristle was reviewed. A literature review was also conducted to refine a treatment algorithm for managing ingested wire bristles. Results: We present a case of a 53-year-old male who accidentally ingested a grill brush wire bristle. After multiple unsuccessful endoscopic attempts at removal, the wire bristle migrated deep into the extrinsic musculature of the tongue, necessitating a transcervical approach for adequate visualization and retrieval. Conclusions: This is the first case reported of a wire bristle migrating deep into the tongue musculature that was successfully removed via a transcervical approach. Our proposed algorithm provides a comprehensive approach to the management of ingested wire bristles, specifically in cases where endoscopic retrieval is not feasible.

Using methylene blue as a marker to find and remove tiny metallic foreign bodies embedded in the soft tissues of children: A randomised controlled trial

Abstract: Methylene blue staining facilitated the location and removal of tiny metallic foreign bodies from the soft tissue, and significantly reduced operation time, incision length and radiation exposure compared to the conventional method.
