Fluoroscopic‐assisted laparoscopic retrieval of retained glucose sensor wire from the omentum

Abstract

Abstract We describe a case in which retained wires from a continuous glucose monitor were removed from the abdominal wall and peritoneum of a 6‐year‐old boy. We highlight a concern for continuous glucose monitor use in children and discuss surgical techniques used to retrieve tiny, mobile objects from complex body cavities.
