Abstract Background Ingested foreign bodies are a common presentation to paediatric ENT services. Depending on the site, these are usually managed with flexible or rigid oesophagoscopy and retrieval. This paper presents a novel technique for removing a hollow foreign body that could not be removed using conventional means. Method and results After rigid and flexible approaches failed, a guidewire was passed through the foreign body under fluoroscopic guidance and a dilatation balloon passed through the lumen of the object. Inflating the balloon allowed dilatation of the inflamed mucosa above and below the object, facilitating straightforward removal under traction. Conclusion This is a novel and reproducible technique that uses equipment readily available in tertiary referral centres. Employed in this context, the technique enabled removal of an impacted object surrounded by granulation tissue, and would be appropriate for other objects with a lumen.

Purpose. To report a novel technique of cross-knotted suture basket and to test its effectiveness in large nonmagnetic intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal. Methods. A 7/0 Vicryl suture was cut in half and cross-knotted, and four ends were introduced into a 23G needle to form a basket. Pig eyes were used to set up the IOFB model, and the effectiveness of the suture basket in the removal of large nonmagnetic intraocular foreign bodies was tested. Results. Several modifications can be made to adapt to different situations. For the materials (stone, metal, glass, and wood) and shapes (irregular, spherical, and rectangle) of large IOFB tested, the cross-knotted suture basket successfully removed all kinds of IOFBs. Conclusion. The suture basket technique provides an accessible, safe, and effective alternative in large nonmagnetic IOFB removal. It can be adapted and interchangedand also worth’s further clinical investigations.

With the digital age in healthcare upon us, patients are more aware, educated, and concerned about their surgical options for hernia repair. As a result of exposure to the growing litigious environment surrounding synthetic mesh products, patients are demanding hernia repairs with minimal or no foreign body. In response to these pressures, we have developed a novel technique known as the Reinforced Biologic Augmented Repair (ReBAR) which incorporates the data-proven principles of (1) tissue defect closure and (2) primary repair reinforcement, while minimizing the amount of foreign body material exposure long-term. A cohort of 619 (1.2% recurrence) patients representing a variety of hernia types and using multiple methods underwent repair using the ReBAR technique:259 Robotic Inguinal (1.2%), 47 Open Inguinal (4.3%), 59 Robotic Ventral/Incisional (1.7%), 32 Stapled Retrorectus (0%), 54 Open Abdominal Wall Reconstructions (1.8%), and 48 Open Onlay Ventral/Incisional (2.0%) hernia repairs. Increasing consumer demand for alternatives to traditional synthetic mesh repairs has driven the development of the ReBAR technique. Outcomes to this point are equivalent or better using the ReBAR technique as compared to classical methodology, however further study will be required to determine if long-term outcomes are superior to traditional techniques. The easily adaptable ReBAR technique satisfies the patient-centered care goals of today’s healthcare and may drive enhanced overall value of hernia care delivery.
