This paper describes a novel method for the removal of a needle aspirated into the basal part of the right bronchial tree of a 14-year-old girl, where due to the distal location, earlier attempts at extraction had been unsuccessful. With careful advanced planning creative modelling, and the assistance of our medical engineer, a modified method was developed that allowed successful extraction in cooperation with the pulmonary physician, thereby obviating the need for a possible thoracotomy and lobectomy.
