Minimally invasive technique to facilitate ultrasound-guided removal of migrating foreign bodies in dogs and cats

This technique was successful in removing foreign material from the neck and retro-bulbar area

Migrating foreign bodies is common in cats and dogs and can be challenging to retrieve. The aim of this study was to describe a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided technique for the removal of migrating foreign bodies. Cases were retrospectively recruited from a single referral hospital. Soft tissue swelling with suspected abscessation was identified on CT and the presence of migrating foreign material was confirmed on ultrasound. Foreign body retrieval was performed under ultrasound guidance: a large bore cannula (14G) was placed in direct contact with the foreign body. A pair of 16G flexible grasping forceps was passed through the sheath of the ...
