Extraction of Magnetic Intraocular Foreign Bodies Using a Novel Magnetic Foreign Body Extractor: 2 Cases.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The extraction of intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) presents a significant challenge in ocular surgery. This report introduces a novel magnetic foreign body extractor, specifically designed for the removal of small- to medium-sized magnetic IOFBs located in the posterior segment of the eye.

Case presentations

Our report presents 2 cases of IOFB removal using a novel magnetic foreign body extractor, performed in conjunction with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). The IOFBs were successfully removed through corneal or limbal incisions with a 23-gauge rechargeable magnetic foreign body extractor, without the need to enlarge the scleral incision. All procedures were completed independently, without the use of additional instruments, resulting in no instances of iatrogeni
