In Tyumen the doctors saved the child, swallowing the head of a bobblehead. This was reported on the website of the regional Department of health.
As noted, the detail of the toy was rather large — about five inches in diameter. It completely blocked the lumen of the esophagus at the entrance to the stomach. “Special flexible tongs and hinges, which remove foreign objects with a round and smooth head doll simply slide off. The work of physicians is complicated and the weight of the toy, increased due to the accumulated in the cavity of the product liquid,” the report says.
Doctors have decided to refrain from surgical intervention. The foreign object was removed with a vacuum aspirator and forceps, while the child was under anesthesia.
It is noted that in this case the Tyumen physicians are faced for the first time. Usually children swallow coins, small toys, beads, rings, pins, flash drives, caps from pens and markers and screws. It is noted that the greatest danger is swallowed magnets and batteries.
In March 2016 in Moscow 87-year-old pensioner swallowed the emerald, so he went to relatives after her death. The woman agreed to gastroenterologist removed the jewel only after she was scared by the likelihood of volvulus and painful death.
