Abstract
Objectives: Migrating foreign bodies is common in cats and dogs and can be challenging to retrieve. The aim of this study is to describe a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided technique for the removal of migrating foreign bodies.
Materials and methods: 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 cannula and the foreign material was grasped and removed. Follow-up was obtained via patient records or telephone conversation.
Results: Seven dogs and one cat were included in this series. This technique was successful in removing foreign material from the neck (n = 4) and retro-bulbar area (n = 3). One retro-bulbar foreign body could not be safely removed due to its proximity to the globe. Median procedure duration was 20 minutes (range 5 to 35 minutes). Follow-up was available for seven cases at a median of 6 months (range 0.5 to 6 months). There was no recurrence of clinical signs in six out of seven cases. The swelling recurred at a different location in one case and no further foreign material was identified.
Clinical significance: This technique enabled retrieval of migrating foreign material from the retro-bulbar and cervical regions. This was an efficient and minimally invasive technique that spared the need for surgical exploration.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Small Animal Practice (JSAP) is a monthly peer-reviewed publication integrating clinical research papers and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to dogs, cats and other small animals. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. JSAP publishes high quality original articles, as well as other scientific and educational information. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of small animal medicine and surgery.
In addition to original articles, JSAP will publish invited editorials (relating to a manuscript in the same issue or a topic of current interest), review articles, which provide in-depth discussion of important clinical issues, and other scientific and educational information from around the world.
The final decision on publication of a manuscript rests with the Editorial Board and ultimately with the Editor. All papers, regardless of type, represent the opinion of the authors and not necessarily that of the Editor, the Association or the Publisher.
The Journal of Small Animal Practice is published on behalf of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association and is also the official scientific journal of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association
