Ensuring that ingested fishbones that migrate to the neck are located, diagnosed, and removed early

ConclusionsThe techniques of B-ultrasound and CT have advantages for the diagnosis of migratory foreign bodies in the neck. Although B-ultrasound is more accurate for estimating the length of migratory fish bones in the neck, a combination of both methods can improve the preoperative positive rate of diagnosis. Therefore, a variety of surgical approaches should be employed to manage the different locations of cervical foreign bodies.
