A sewing needle ingested by an 11-month-old boy resulted in an intrahepatic foreign body. Laparoscopic surgery successfully removed the foreign body.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Foreign body ingestion is a common pediatric emergency.
  • Intrahepatic foreign bodies, particularly sewing needles, pose unique diagnostic and management challenges due to their small size and potential for migration.

Observation:

  • An 11-month-old male infant presented with symptoms suggestive of foreign body ingestion.
  • Radiographic imaging confirmed the presence of a sewing needle within the liver parenchyma (intrahepatic foreign body).

Findings:

  • The patient underwent successful surgical management.
  • Exclusive laparoscopic extraction of the intrahepatic sewing needle was achieved, demonstrating the efficacy of minimally invasive techniques.

Implications:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is a viable and effective approach for managing intrahepatic foreign bodies in pediatric patients.
  • Early diagnosis and minimally invasive intervention can lead to favorable outcomes and reduced patient morbidity.
