PURPOSE: We used a novel technique for explanting an improperly oriented silicone intraocular lens. METHODS: The elastomeric property of silicone was used to deform the optic and remove the intraocular lens in one piece. RESULTS: We explanted a flexible intraocular lens without compromising the integrity of the original wound, posterior lens capsule, or corneal endothelium. CONCLUSIONS: The technique offers a superior means of intraocular lens explantation while retaining the benefits of small-incision cataract surgery.

A case of a swallowed foreign body migrating from the pharynx into the soft tissues of the neck is presented, whose management was complicated by its undetected migration to the superior mediastinum occurring between radiological localization in the neck three days prior to exploration and its attempted removal. A median sternotomy was then required to retrieve the object. Radiological guidance with regard to the localization of a foreign body in the neck can only be relied on when performed immediately prior to surgical removal.
