Khaberni - A specialized medical team at the "Kafr El Sheikh General Hospital" in northern Egypt succeeded in saving a woman from a definite danger, after they managed to extract 9 iron nails from inside her stomach in a delicate procedure that relied entirely on advanced endoscopy to spare the patient the risks of traditional surgery.
The incident began when the patient arrived at the hospital suffering from severe stomach pain, and medical examinations and X-rays revealed the presence of sharp foreign bodies inside the stomach cavity, necessitating immediate action from the advanced endoscopic unit for the digestive system to prevent perforations in the stomach wall or internal bleeding.
Quickly, the medical team decided to rely on the stomach endoscope as a safe and effective alternative to open surgery, in a major challenge by the medical team to extract the nine iron nails without causing any damage to the esophagus or digestive system during their removal.
The doctors successfully extracted the nails, and the patient's health stabilized, where she was transferred to the observation room to monitor her vital functions.
