Abstract
Foreign body ingestion is commonly encountered by otolaryngologists. Most foreign bodies in the upper airway can be easily removed via direct endoscopy; however, if they penetrate the soft tissue deeply, both localization and retrieval may be challenging. Here, we report on the successful removal of multiple sewing needles from the throat using intraoperative, real-time C-arm fluoroscopy to guide endoscopic extraction. The use of intraoperative, real time C-arm fluoroscopy to guide endoscopic extraction allowed quick, safe treatment and avoided any development of complications in our patient.
