Introduction: Despite the frequent occurrence of foreign bodies in extremities, there is very little information in the literature about treatment approaches. This study is aimed at an epidemiological study on patients undergoing surgical treatment due to the immersion of foreign bodies in soft tissue. Methods: A total of 109 patients, including 52 male and 57 female patients, who were undergoing surgery due to injury in the soft tissue between 2012-2015 years, were reached from the hospital archive to the patient files and radiological images from the radiological pacs system. The demographic information of patients, the type and the environment in which foreign bodies are drowned, the thetanosis and antibiotic prevention, the types of anesthesia, the duration and complications were identified. Results: The average age of 109 patients operated was 28 (3-68) 62 (56.9) patients were injured in the home environment, while 47 (43.1) patients were injured in the outside environment. In 43 patients, in 28 patients, in glass, in 21 patients, in metallic bodies, in 12 patients, in firearms, in metallic bodies and in 5 patients, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts, in wooden parts. The injuries occurred in 58.7 percent of the lower limbs, while 41.3 percent in the upper limbs. 78 (71.6%) of the patients who were operated for the removal of foreign bodies were given local anesthesia, while other patients were given regional or general anesthesia. Patients with local anesthesia were released on the same day, and patients with general and regional anesthesia were released on the first day after surgery. No complications were observed in the follow-up. The result: Foreign bodies are mostly injuries occurring in the home environment. Direct radiography is very useful in most foreign objects, but in the identification of non-metallic foreign objects should be used by ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance study. The type of anesthesia for the surgery should be selected according to the patient’s age and the localization of the foreign body.
