Two dogs were presented because part of the cephalic vein catheter was missing. In both cases, the catheter was not visualised by ultrasound and difficult to see on radiographs. CT was used to localise the catheter fragment making a focused surgical approach possible for retrieval. Moreover, CT of the thorax ensured that there was no further fragment migration. CT should be considered convenient and useful, to facilitate planning of the surgical approach in order to localise a broken intravenous cannula and to ensure no further catheter fragment migration.

We present a case of distal venous embolisation of a peripheral intravenous cannula tip that had lost its structural integrity through repeated failed attempts of insertion of the same cannula, contrary to protocols for intravenous access. Radiological imaging confirmed the presence of a foreign body in the middle finger and the patient was brought to theatre. A 2.2cm long catheter tube was removed via a venotomy from the dorsal digital vein.

All manner of foreign bodies have been extracted from the bladder. Introduction into the bladder may be through self-insertion, iatrogenic means or migration from adjacent organs. Extraction should be tailored according to the nature of the foreign body and should minimise bladder and urethral trauma. We report a case of a bullet injury to the bladder, which finally presented as a gross hematuria after remaining asymptomatic for four years. We present here an alternative to suprapubic cystostomy with a large bladder foreign body treated via a combined transurethral unroofing followed by removal using a grasper passed through a suprapubic laparoscopic port.
