Background
It is always challenging to remove a long-standing smooth spherical foreign body through standard optical forceps. These foreign bodies do not negotiate with the traditional optical forceps and the chance of dislodgement during the surgery is high. Instead, a Dormia basket can be effectively used to remove these foreign bodies. Case report: We have reported two cases of smooth spherical bronchial foreign bodies, which were failed with the standard optical forceps and later successfully retrieved with a Dormia basket.
Conclusion
Dormia basket can be effectively used to remove smooth spherical bronchial foreign bodies in children not amenable to the standard bronchoscopic forceps and later can be added to the standard tool in the foreign body retrieval kit for the otolaryngologist who deals with rigid bronchoscopy on a routine basis.
