Extraction of aural foreign bodies in a rural setting: 10-year review and a novel method to remove magnetic stones

ENT Journal Apr 04, 2021

Reyes-Chicuellar N, et al. - In the present study, the researchers present their clinical experience in managing aural foreign bodies (FBs) at the Royal Darwin Hospital, as well as a proposed technique for removing stones from the external ear canal in a rural Australian setting. They analyzed 474 patients (52 adults and 428 children) who require surgical management to remove aural FBs at the Royal Darwin Hospital, Northern Territory, Australia. Stones were discovered to be the most common FB in remote aboriginal populations, contrary to international literature. The proposed technique reduces the number of extraction attempts for the most common FB found in children's ears, with the goal of reducing complications, negative experiences, and health costs.
