Dental wire stuck in woman's intestines for 10 years found
Australia-based surgeons have found a 7-cm-long piece of orthodontic wire lodged in a woman's intestines after she complained of increasing abdominal pain. The 30-year-old woman, who last wore braces 10 years prior to the surgery, must have unknowingly swallowed it while eating and experienced pain only after the wire punctured several places in the intestines, doctors said.
