Abstract

Interventional video tomography (IVT), a new imaging modality, achieves virtual visualization of anatomic structures in three dimensions for intraoperative stereotactic navigation. Partial immersion into a virtual data space, which is orthotopically coregistered to the surgical field, enhances, by means of a see-through head-mounted display (HMD), the surgeon's visual perception and technique by providing visual access to nonvisual data of anatomy, physiology, and function. The presented cases document the potential of augmented reality environments in maxillofacial surgery.

[The retained surgical sponge, an ongoing surgical problem].

The retained surgical sponge seems to be an ongoing problem. Despite the fact that reports of retained surgical sponges are comparatively rare, this problem seems to be more prevalent than is generally appreciated. Even though counting sponges is a tedious task, it should nonetheless be performed with the utmost attention. Although the presence of radiopaque wires in the sponges is helpful in locating these, it does not prevent surgical sponges from being forgotten. These retained sponges can result in serious conditions such as septic complications or pseudo-tumour formation, which in turn might lead to extensive diagnostic and secondary surgical procedures.

Magnetic removal of a nasal foreign body.

We describe a case of metallic nasal foreign body removal from a child with the aid of a permanent magnet. This is the first documented case of such a technique as far as we are aware. Magnets may prove invaluable in the removal of metallic nasal foreign bodies particularly in children and avoid the need for a general anaesthetic. A brief review of the use of magnets to remove foreign bodies is included.
