Hi, My 13 Years Old Nephew Sat On Couple Of

Hi,
my 13 years old nephew sat on couple of sewing needles in sewing class, a boy in his school placed them on his chair as a joke and the needles are now inside his buttock. The school's teachers are not sympathetic about the incident at all!!
He had a x-ray done it showed on the result, two days layer they did surgery to remove the needles, initially they opened 2 inch then they extended to but they couldn't find it because it has moved. Now they are doing CT scan on Monday to locate the needles to do further surgery.
How dangerous is it to have sewing needles inside your body.
