Failure to remove all sponges and surgical instruments from the operative field after thoracic surgical procedures can lead to serious complications. Fortunately this occurrence is rare and preventable. Two patients are described in whom intrapleural foreign bodies were successfully removed by open tube thoracoscopy, a technique that the authors recommend as the procedure of choice in such cases.
胸外科手术后若未将所有海绵和手术器械从手术区域移除，可能会导致严重并发症。幸运的是，这种情况很少发生且可预防。本文描述了两名患者，他们通过开放式胸腔镜成功取出了胸腔内异物，作者推荐该技术作为此类病例的首选手术方法。
