Popis: Previous reports describe removal of foreign bodies using image guidance with serial tract dilation or blunt and sharp dissection techniques. This report describes a novel technique utilizing balloon tract dilatation to facilitate the removal of retained radiopaque soft tissue foreign bodies under fluoroscopic guidance. This technique offers a minimally invasive approach for rapid retrieval of deeply penetrating foreign bodies, obviating the need for a large incision or surgical cut down. Keywords: Foreign body removal, Balloon tract dilatation
