摘要
Background: We studied methods of locating metallic foreign bodies in soft tissue of the human body. Methods: Using a three-dimensional (3D) locator, we removed metallic foreign bodies precisely from soft tissue of 7390 patients through magnetic forceps between June 1999 and June 2009. Results: In 7390 patients, we successfully removed 99.5% of all metallic foreign bodies by 3D locator and forceps. Average operation time was 5 min. Conclusions: Metallic foreign bodies can be located precisely and removed simply with few complications using our 3D location method. The method may lead to minor trauma, less suffering, and a high success rate.
