Sting

Sting is a medical procedure, typically performed in an emergency situation, to locate and identify a foreign object or material that has been embedded in the body. The procedure involves the insertion of a thin wire, usually made of stainless steel, into the body to locate and identify the foreign object. The wire is inserted through a body opening, such as the mouth, nose, or ear, and guided to the foreign object. Once the object is located, it is either removed or identified. Sting is commonly used to identify and remove objects such as coins, metal fragments, and other foreign objects that may have been ingested, inhaled, or embedded in the body. It is also used to locate and identify tumors or other abnormalities that may be present in the body. Sting is typically performed by a doctor or other medical professional, often with the assistance of imaging technology such as X-ray or ultrasound. It is a safe and effective procedure, although there is a risk of infection or other complications. Additionally, depending on the size and location of the foreign object, sting may not be possible or may require more invasive techniques.
