Is the presence of a foreign body in the lung an indication for its removal? Should it be removed even if it is not seriously disturbing? Apparently, surgeons are currently inclined towards a positive answer to this question because, firstly, that a foreign body, even after smooth healing of the wound, poses a danger to its carrier, since it is a focus of a latent infection, and secondly, because operations on pleura and lung are not nearly as dangerous as previously thought.
