A team of doctors from Shri Mahant Indiresh (SMI) Hospital gave the beautiful gift of life to a person, who was on the verge of death. In an accident, a teethed iron rod had embedded into the chest of the person and he sustained severe injuries. He was rushed to the hospital in an extremely critical condition as he was hanging in between life and death.
In a complicated operation that lasted for nearly two-and-half hours, the life of patient was saved by the surgeon. According to the information available, Saleem, aged around 40 years, resident of Jakhan, Dehradun was severally injured when the teethed iron rod fixed over the belt pierced the right chest of him, torn the diaphragm and entered the liver as the belt of cotton machine broke down while he was operating the machine.
The pointed teethed iron rod that was around one inch thick pierced 10 centimetres into the chest of the patient and also severally damaged his liver. Noticing the deteriorating condition of the victim as he was laying in the pool of blood, the relatives immediately took him to SMI for advance medical care.
After conducting all physical and other medical examination, the patient was operated by Dr Neelkamal, super specialist, SMI along with his team. While highlighting about the operation techniques, Dr Neelkamal said that a big abdominal incision was given in order to mobilise the liver. After that, another incision was given in the liver and then the iron rod was separated from the liver and finally, the teethed iron rod was removed from the body.
This surgery was very complicated and cumbersome because the iron rod was a teethed ‘one’. The doctors also took extreme care during the surgery so that the teeth of the iron rod do not cause a major damage to the liver and diaphragm was repaired.
Dr Neelkamal told that the patient is recuperating very fast and would be discharged from the hospital very soon.
