Learning objectives
Show the usefulness of Ultrasound and fluoroscopy in the extraction of foreign bodies with minimally invasive technique.
Background
Foreign bodies accidentally introduced into soft tissues are a common cause of consultation in emergency services,
treated in our institution by the traumatology service.
A foreign body that is not removed can lead to both acute and chronic complications,
such as pain,
inflammation and local infection of the affected area.
The use of image-guided techniques gives a new option for the extraction of foreign bodies allowing minimally invasive procedures,
accelerating patient recovery and reducing the possibility of complications; As well as reducing hospital costs.
Findings and procedure details
In these two cases the usefulness of the US / Fluoroscopy is shown; although very basic,
gives a lot of utility and benefits to the patients,
allowing less aggressive procedures,
which lead to a quick recovery.
in both case aUS with linear 9 Mhz transducer was used.
The fluoroscopic study was performed for the location of the foreign body; using minor surgery equipment to remove it.
The performing technique uses a minimally invasive incisions and extracting the foreign body with minimal tissue damagewhich accelerates its...
Conclusion
The use of guided imagery techniques for extraction of foreign bodies in these two cases,
resulted in the minimal invasion the tissues,
impacting the patient with shorter recovery periods and reducing the possibility of complications.
In the same way,
reduction of hospital costs and attention time.
