%X Trauma with foreign objects retained within the human body has become a common surgical emergency condition. Traditional surgical methods often involve creating large incisions in soft tissue and may lead to additional complications during wound healing.

This approach is minimally invasive and simple. This is the first combination of both technologies in this field
