The importance of patient positioning for bronchial foreign body extraction: a case report
2018
A bronchial foreign body was found in a dog. A circular foreign body was found radiographically in the left bronchus right after the bifurcation. A lateral thoracotomy was performed at the fifth intercostal space, guided by fluoroscopy. The positioning of the patient on the operating table can dislocate a movable foreign body, making the surgical extraction more challenging.
