Popis: Retrieval of a broken or lost surgical needle can be a difficult task, often requiring extensive surgical exploration.A surgical needle was retained in the perineum. Needle-hookwire placement with biplane fluoroscopy allowed the precise localization and marking of the foreign body; surgical removal without extensive exploration was therefore possible.The use of needle-hookwire localization with biplane fluoroscopy should be considered for retrieval of foreign bodies in the perineum.
