Objective:
To investigate the available operation method of special type tracheobronchial foreign bodies removal.
Method:
Sixty one patients of special type tracheobronchial foreign bodies were extracted with some special instruments and methods depend on foreign body types. The features of operation on different kinds of foreign bodies were analyzed.
Result:
All patients were operated successfully by using foreign body hook (31 cases), pencil or writing screw brush extracted (11 cases), foreign body cage (13 cases), slender inverse claw esophagus foreign body clamp (3 cases) and so on. No complications and died cases were found. Only 5 patients were undertaken trachea incision before operation.
Conclusion:
Suitable instruments and technique chose for every individual cases is the key to successful operation.
