Abstract

The removal of the foreign body form the body after a penetrant injury is critical. A 32-year-old male patient presented to our facility after falling on an iron reinforcement bar (rebar) while working on a construction site. The iron bar had entered the lateral side of the patient’s left umbilicus and exited from the posterior scapula. After a physical examination and the necessary radiological investigations, the patient was operated on. Due to the position of the iron bar, the physical examination, radiological examinations, intubation and surgery were conducted with the patient slightly left of the lateral decubitus position, and the iron bar was removed. Although such cases are encountered only rarely, we consider it to be crucial for the emergency and surgical teams to work in coordination.

Özet

Penentran yaralanma sonrası yabancı cismin çıkarılması önemli bir problemdir. Otuz iki yaşında erkek hastanın inşaat demiri üzerine düşme sonrası demir parçası sol umlikusun lateralinden girip skapula arkasından çıkmıştı. Fizik muayene ve gerekli radyolojik tetikler yapıldıktan sonra hasta ameliyata alındı. Demir çubuğun konumundan dolayı fizik muayene, radyolojik tetkikler, entübasyon ve ameliyat, hafif sol lateral dekübit pozisyonda yapılarak demir parçası çıkarıldı. Sonuç olarak, bu tür olgular az görülmekle birlikte; acil ve cerrahi ekibin koordineli olarak çalışması çok önemlidir.
