LONG-TERM STAY OF METALLIC FOREIGN BODIES IN THE BRONCHI

Abstract

The article presents two clinical observations of the stay of metallic foreign bodies in the bronchi. In the first child, a needle pushpin with a plastic casing was for 2 years in the lumen of the lower lobe bronchus on the right, while in the other case the screw stayed also in the right lower lobe bronchus for two weeks. Removal of foreign bodies of bronchi is performed urgently after the appropriate preoperative preparation in the operating room. Removal of the foreign body was carried out with pronounced technical difficulties, after repeated attempts for an hour. There were no complications during and after manipulation. Bronchoscopy revealed narrowing of the lumen of the lower lobar bronchus, edema, and hyperemia of the mucous membrane, as well as granulation tissue, partially overlapping the clearance of the bronchus.
