Authors: Choo KyoBin , Yoon JungSoo , Lim SooA , Eo SuRak
Published: November 2024

Purpose: Numerous studies have focused on techniques for detecting foreign bodies in soft tissue in the hand, but removal remains a subject of interest. In this study, we describe the microscope-assisted removal of foreign bodies in the hand. Methods: We reviewed records of patients treated for foreign bodies in the hand at our department from July 2013 to May 2023. In 16 patients aged 23 to 55 years, the following variables were analyzed: the cause of trauma; the time interval from trauma to surgery; the location, type, size, and number of foreign bodies; patient complaints; imaging technique; and procedure type. Under local anesthesia, a slit incision was made at the suspected site. Foreign bodies were completely removed using micro-instruments under microscopic guidance. Results: Stab injuries were the most common (n=13), and there was one case each of abrasion, traffic accident, and bee sting. The middle finger (n=5) was the most affected, followed by the thumb (n=4), index (n=3), little finger (n=2), ring finger (n=1), and palm (n=1). Foreign bodies included glass (n=6), wood (n=4), seashell (n=2), fish bone, a pencil tip, a bee stinger, and metal. Their size ranged from 1 to 20 mm. Patient complaints included a foreign body sensation, localized pain, swelling, discoloration, and a skin lesion. X-ray examinations were performed in all cases, and ultrasonography was conducted in five cases. Conclusion: A microscopic approach allows precise, safe, and complete removal of foreign bodies without tissue damage, highlighting the efficacy of this technique in hand surgery.

In general, the perception of elderly sexuality is positive. The perception of married men, male citizens from big cities, unmarried people on the importance of elderly sexuality is higher than that of married women, male citizens from small cities (Northern of Kyungbuk) and married people. Elderly people have sexual desire in their minds, but they themselves do not accept it. Through their personal efforts and preparations for elderly life, their life can be adventurous and challenging. Although their physical body grows weaker, we have to understand the process of intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth and make every effort to live a creative and challenging life.Most people even the elderly themselves consider that it is not right for the elderly to have sexual desire. This prejudice can have negative influence on their will to lead a fulfilling life. For their life, they themselves need to change their thinking as well as their perceptions of the elderly. Above all, in order to get rid of these problems, people should be interested in the elderly in society and develop new programs to understand them.
