Though reported cases of foreign bodies left intraoperatively in the oral cavity are very few, there is no case mentioned in the literature where foreign body was left behind during follow-up visits. Here, we present an operated case of unicystic ameloblastoma of mandibular ramus region, in which a needle hub was left at the operated site (cavity created because of wound dehiscence) during some of the follow-up visits, which was detected accidently by radiograph and later on retrieved. The case reported was because of negligence of trainee surgeons, might be because of overburden or because of minimal interest in these repeated follow ups. But, a trainee should understand that their work also has similar importance as that of surgeon's work.
虽然术中遗留在口腔内的异物报告病例非常少,但文献中未提及随访期间遗留异物的情况。在此,我们展示一例下颌升支区域单囊性成釉细胞瘤的手术病例,在一些随访期间,一个针座遗留在手术部位(因伤口裂开形成的腔隙),通过X线片意外发现,随后取出。报告的该病例是由于实习外科医生的疏忽,可能是因为负担过重或对这些重复随访兴趣不大。但是,实习生应该明白他们的工作与外科医生的工作同样重要。
