Procedure Details
From consultation to post-care procedure, we take care of our patients. We provide them a patient-centric treatment as per their wants.
Consultation: At first, we have a thorough consultation that will provide us with the information we need. Our specialist will evaluate your condition, perform any needed imaging or diagnostic studies and review the best options for removing the foreign object.
Preparation: You will be given instructions on how to prepare for the procedure based on where the foreign body is and what it is. This might involve fasting, using some medications, or any other ways to prepare.
Technique: The technique for removal is dependent on the foreign body as well as its location
- Skin: For objects present in the skin, causing only mild discomfort, local anaesthetics are commonly applied, and the object is gently removed with sterile instruments.
- Eyes: Foreign bodies in the eye are removed by specific instruments and procedures so as not to cause any harm to sensitive eye structures.
- Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology: Endoscopic procedures that permit the visualisation and extraction of foreign bodies from these surfaces.
- Digestive Tract: Objects in the oesophagus, stomach, or intestines are generally able to be identified and retrieved without invasive surgery via endoscopy.
Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, you will be monitored to ensure there are no complications. You may be given specific care instructions, such as wound care, medication, or follow-up appointments, to ensure a smooth recovery.
Risks / Benefits
Here are some benefits and risks of Foreign Body Removal. However, risks can be easily managed with post-care treatments.
Benefits:
Immediate Response: Since this foreign body is eliminated immediately, the person is immediately relieved of any pain, discomfort, or other potential related problems.
Avoid Complications: Infection, tissue damage, and blockage are just a few of the issues that a suction cup may cause.
Less-invasive treatments: The majority of foreign body removals are minimally invasive, which means you’ll recover more quickly and experience less discomfort.
Risks:
Haemorrhage: Certain tissues may be more susceptible to haemorrhage, especially if the harmful object is embedded in the tissues.
Infection: With the right care and medication, the small risk of infection at the extraction site can be successfully controlled.
Tissue Damage: There is a rare risk of damage to neighbouring tissues, particularly in sensitive areas like the eyes or the gastrointestinal tract.
