Endoscopic-assisted removal of intraocular foreign body embedded in ciliary sulcus.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report a novel approach for removal of intraocular foreign body in the ciliary sulcus.

Observations

A 72-year-old male presented with an intraocular foreign body embedded in the ciliary body, localized with ultrasound biomicroscopy. An intraoperative endoscopic camera was then used to directly visualize the foreign body in the ciliary body and the object was successfully removed with intraocular forceps.

Conclusions and importance

Removal of foreign bodies in the ciliary sulcus often require either a transscleral approach or a pars plana approach with vitrectomy. In this case, direct visualization with endoscopy allowed for a much safer and less invasive technique for intraocular foreign body removal, preventing the need for sclerotomy or vitrectomy.

Perfluorocarbon liquid-assisted intraocular foreign body removal.

Project description:We describe the benefits of perfluoro-N-octane (PFO), a perfluorocarbon liquid, in the removal of nonmagnetic intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) from the macula and posterior segment. Two consecutive cases of posterior segment IOFB were reviewed. An 18-year-old male presented to the emergency room after a motor vehicle accident with a zone 1 open globe injury and large glass IOFB in the left eye. A 53-year-old male presented to the emergency room with a history of a 3-week delayed presentation of a zone 1 open globe injury from a nail to the right eye. He was found to have a metallic IOFB. In both cases, PFO was used to slide the nonmagnetic IOFBs outside of the macula for safer retrieval. PFO was also able to protect the posterior pole from IOFB drops during early attempts at removal. PFO can be a useful surgical adjunct to pars plana vitrectomy in the removal of certain nonmagnetic IOFBs.

Eustachian Tube Foreign Body with Endoscopic-Assisted Surgical Removal.

Project description:ObjectivesForeign bodies of the external and middle ear are not uncommon; however, foreign bodies in the eustachian tube are rare. Here we describe the presentation, imaging, and endoscopic-assisted surgical management of a case of eustachian tube foreign body.MethodsA 34-year-old male was seen for evaluation of foreign body of the left eustachian tube while working with metal at a machine shop. Imaging and surgical management are highlighted and review of available literature regarding foreign bodies of the eustachian tube is presented.ResultsA CT scan revealed a foreign body present approximately 1 cm into the bony eustachian tube. The patient underwent middle ear exploration which required endoscopic assistance to adequately visualize the foreign body. The foreign body was unable to be removed and required the creation of a bony tunnel lateral to the eustachian tube for visualization and access to the foreign body.ConclusionsThis report presents a rare case of eustachian tube foreign body. Use of the endoscope during the surgical removal greatly enhanced the ease and safety of removal. This report also highlights the importance of ear protection with any machining and welding work.

Intraocular lens-blocking technique for intraocular foreign body removal.

Project description:The aim of this study was to describe a novel technique for intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal. Phacoemulsification was performed in all patients, followed by a complete microincision vitrectomy to free all tissues surrounding the IOFB. A three-piece intraocular lens (IOL) was placed in the capsular bag, and an opening was made in the upper center of the capsule. The IOFB was removed and lifted to the anterior chamber through the capsular opening and IOL edge. The IOFB was confined to the anterior chamber by the IOL, and then easily extracted through the main corneal incision. The technique was adopted in six eyes of six patients. All IOFBs were removed successfully in all patients without intraoperative or postoperative complications. The IOL-blocking technique is a useful approach for IOFB removal.

Utility of a nitinol stone extractor for intraocular foreign body removal.

Project description:PurposeTo describe the novel application of a urological instrument, the nitinol stone basket, in the removal of a retained intraocular foreign body (IOFB).ObservationsThis is a retrospective case series describing two eyes of two patients presenting with metallic IOFBs after hammering metal-on-metal. Both patients underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and successful IOFB extraction using the NCircle® Nitinol Tipless Stone Extractor. There were no intraoperative or post-surgical complications. Both patients demonstrated improvement in vision, with most recent postoperative visual acuities of 20/40 and 20/60.Conclusions and importanceThe nitinol stone basket may be considered for removal of IOFBs, particularly larger IOFBs that are difficult to grasp with forceps. Our cases add to the literature showing favorable visual outcomes and few complications in the post-operative period using this technique.

Successful endoscopic removal of foreign body lacerating into the duodenum.

Project description:Video 1The endoscope was advanced under direct visualization to the third part of the duodenum. A foreign body consistent with a ballpoint pen was identified in the duodenum. The sharp end of the pen formed a deep laceration through the second portion of the duodenum. The blunt end of the pen was ulcerated into the third portion of the duodenum with 2 additional pressure ulcers located in close proximity. Removal of the pen was first attempted using a snare without success. The foreign body was then successfully removed with a rat tooth. The second portion of the duodenum showed minimal oozing with contained deep laceration. The third portion of the duodenum showed 2 pressure ulcers.

Magnet-assisted endoscopic removal of ferromagnetic metallic gastric foreign bodies in 4 dogs.

Project description:ObjectiveDescribe presenting signs, diagnostic findings, and magnet-assisted endoscopic removal method of ferromagnetic gastric foreign bodies (FBs) in dogs.Clinical presentationFour dogs presented with ingestion of sharp metallic FBs. The presence of gastric FBs was confirmed by abdominal radiography.ResultsIn 3 cases, initial attempts at endoscopic removal were unsuccessful because of ingesta and fluid in the stomach. A magnet contained within a Roth net was introduced endoscopically. Magnet and attached objects were successfully removed from the stomach. In the fourth case, removal with a magnet was judged to be the most expedient method of removal because multiple metallic objects were present.Clinical relevanceAn endoscopic technique was used for the removal of difficult-to-visualize or multiple metallic FBs. The use of this technique allows the removal of ferromagnetic gastric FBs without surgery or risk of complications associated with the passage of sharp material through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Microbiological study on foreign body and vitreous samples of patients with intraocular foreign body.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the relationship between the microbiological results of the vitreous humor and those of foreign body specimens in patients with intraocular foreign body (IOFB).MethodsSeventy-one patients with an IOFB were included in this descriptive prospective case series. All patients underwent immediate IOFB removal. Vitreous sampling was performed during vitrectomy. Foreign bodies were placed directly into culture media for microbiological study.ResultsThirteen (18.3%) patients developed endophthalmitis. The results of microbiological analysis of IOFB and vitreous humor specimens were negative in nine patients and positive in four. Fifty-eight (81.6%) patients with an IOFB had no evidence of endophthalmitis. Among them, seven patients showed positive microbiological results of foreign bodies with no manifestations of endophthalmitis. In five patients, a Staphylococcus epidermidis strain was observed in the culture of the IOFB specimen. Two patients had only positive smear test results of their vitreous humor specimen.ConclusionA correlation appears to be present between the microbiological results of the vitreous humor and IOFB specimens in patients with clinical findings of endophthalmitis but not in patients with a pure IOFB without clinical features of endophthalmitis. This may justify early use of intravitreal and intravenous antibiotics before the development of endophthalmitis.

INCIDENCE AND RISK FACTORS OF POSTOPERATIVE ENDOPHTHALMITIS AFTER PRIMARY SURGICAL REPAIR COMBINED WITH INTRAOCULAR FOREIGN BODY REMOVAL.

Project description:PurposeTo analyze the incidence and risk factors of postoperative endophthalmitis after primary surgical repair and intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal within 24 hours of injury.MethodsThe records of all patients treated surgically for open globe injury and IOFB removal at the Eye Hospital of Shandong First Medical University between January 1, 2015, and June 30, 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. Variables included time from injury to operation, cause of injury, details of surgical repair, and follow-up. The incidence and risk factors of endophthalmitis after IOFB removal were studied.ResultsDuring 5 years, 99 patients with IOFB were reviewed. Of these, 19 patients were diagnosed with endophthalmitis on admission, and 5 were suspected of having endophthalmitis during operation. Fifty-four cases had no clinical signs of endophthalmitis on admission and during operation and were treated with operation within 24 hours after the injury. Two patients (2 of 54; 3.70%) developed endophthalmitis after IOFB removal, and the causative agent in both cases was Bacillus cereus.ConclusionThe incidence of infectious endophthalmitis after primary surgical repair combined with IOFB removal (≤24 hours) was 3.70% in patients who received a series of standard treatments, and B. cereus infection might be a risk factor.
