Foreign Body Removal

Foreign body removal refers to the medical procedure of extracting an object that has entered the body and is not naturally part of it. This can include items like splinters, fish hooks, or ingested objects. The procedure may vary based on the object's location, size, and the patient's condition. It can be done using simple techniques for accessible areas, or through surgical methods for more serious cases. The main goal is to relieve pain, prevent infection, and restore normal function while ensuring the patient's safety throughout the process.
