المملكة: A successful medical intervention with the “birth of Mecca” saves a baby that swallowed a metal piece

A medical team at the Maternity and Children Hospital in Makkah Al -Mukarramah, affiliated with the Makkah Health Assembly, was able to save the life of a two -month -old infant after swallowing a metal piece that led to a partial blockage in the breathing and esophagus before it reaches the stomach.

The Makkah Health Gathering explained that the hospital’s emergency department received an urgent condition, as the infant underwent first aid and the necessary medical examinations, which revealed the presence of a metal piece in the form of a “clamp” inside his stomach.

Without surgery

The child soon was transferred to the operating room, where the medical team succeeded in extracting the piece through the endoscope without the need for surgical intervention, so that the child returns to his normal health condition.

The assembly added that the infant was discharged from the hospital the day after the operation, after making sure that his health condition stabilized and no complications occurred.

It is noteworthy that the incident occurred when the brother of the older child was having fun with him, which led to the accident in his mouth by mistake, causing an emergency medical condition that almost claimed his life.
