#Laparoscopic Removal of an Intra #AbdominalNeedle: Case Report and Review of the Literature by Naftali Timna in BJSTR

Abstract

#Abdominal foreign bodies may cause severe complications such as infections, injury of an organ and #perforation: There are not enough data for clear recommendations as to how such foreign bodied should be treated, if at all. We describe here a case of a needle found and removed #laparoscopically in the #abdominalcavity of a young healthy male. Review of the literature disclosed many anecdotal reports of foreign bodies that caused various complications, but currently no evidence based policy can be recommended. The rational for treating abdominal foreign bodies is discussed.
