In this report a 31-year-old man who underwent successful endoscopy-assisted removal of foreign body in anterior chamber angle after a failed conventional surgery through limbal incisions was performed. The patient presented to our hospital complaining of redness and decreased vision in his left eye secondary to ocular trauma. One day prior the patient was hammering metal when the injury occurred. Upon examination, gonioscopy, orbital computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a foreign body in the inferior anterior chamber angle of his left eye. To remove the foreign body by a routine microscopic surgery through limbal incisions was failed. Five days after the first surgery, gonioscopy revealed peripheral anterior synechia in the inferior angle and UBM examination showed that the foreign body was embedded in the angle structures. With the assistance of endoscopy, the foreign body was removed through the existing limbal incision with forceps.

Department of Anesthesiology, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, National Center for Children's Health, Beijing, China.
Object: This study aims to analyze the clinical characteristics of children with tracheobronchial foreign body and to investigate the factors influencing the surgical duration of rigid bronchoscopic foreign body removal under general anesthesia.
Methods: We retrospectively identified 421 children diagnosed with tracheobronchial foreign body undergoing rigid bronchoscopy between January 2020 and December 2021. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on patient demographics, including age, weight, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification, foreign body type and location, duration of foreign body retention, preoperative symptoms, signs, imaging findings, tracheobronchial manifestations observed during bronchoscopy, and surgical durations.

In a super-aging society, the increase in the elderly population is closely tied to a rise in infectious diseases due to factors such as weakened immune systems and decreased vaccine efficacy in older adults. Various opportunistic pathogens commonly encountered in everyday life can cause infections and diseases when an individual's immune defence is weakened due to aging. These factors underscore the importance of preventive measures against pathogenic infections and the aging of immune systems in the elderly.
