    AbstractThe remaining of piercing in intraoperative can cause damages. This paper had as purpose defining the nursing interventions in the intraoperative and evaluates the complications caused by piercing in the intraoperative. This literature review had 16 articles published from 1994 to 2006. Nine articles (56.2%) were about nursing interventions in the intraoperative, four (25.0%) were concerning complications in the intraoperative and three (18.8%) were about the use of piercing in the intraoperative, not presenting complications. We concluded that wearing oral piercing in the intraoperative increases the risk of swallowing and injuries. Furthermore, wearing body jeweIry can cause injuries on the skin during the patient's moving and burns after electrosurgery. Therefore, it is necessay to withdraw the piercing in the preoperative.
