| Title | [Extracting a foreign body from the nasal fossa without an ENT specialist] | | Author(s) | Coulet O, Thiery G, Gal M, Drouet Y, Liard O, Tomasi M | | Institution | Service ORL et chirurgie cervico-faciale, Groupe Médico-Chirurgical Bouffard, Djibouti. oliviercoulet@hotmail.com | | Source | Med Trop (Mars) 2008 Feb; 68(1):83-6. | | Abstract | Foreign bodies in the nasal fossa are frequent and generally occur in children. In developing countries, access to an ENT specialist can be difficult or impossible. The authors describe several extraction techniques with special emphasis on those best suited to areas with limited access to specialist facilities. Using illustrations, a step-by-step description of the so-called "hook" technique is given. This simple technique allows successful removal of a foreign body from the nasal fossa in almost all cases. | | Language | fre | | Pub Type(s) | English Abstract
