The anesthetist located residual using ultrasound, and subsequently, surgeon successfully it.Detection rare usually associated trauma or accidental materials such as absorbable gelatin sponges sutures surgery, which are often found X-rays. process time-consuming, X-rays being radioactive potentially harmful to patients medical workers. Ultrasonic waves safe offer convenient alternative for procedures. We through 0.5 cm skin incision, this method neither caused increased costs.Ultrasonography-assisted rapid, convenient, technique, promising enhance future surgical interventions.
