Surgeons removed the jaw of a needlefish from the face of a child at Primorye in Vladivostok, doctors from the Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2 saved a 7-year-old boy with a piece of the jaw of a needlefish stuck in his face. The boy was injured while on vacation in Thailand. The incident took place at a tropical resort - a needlefish bit a boy, leaving not only a tear in the fold of the nose, but also a fractured jaw with teeth about two centimeters long. The dangerous fragment is stuck a few millimeters from the eye. At first, local doctors provided assistance - they simply sewed up the wound. However, immediately upon returning to Vladivostok, the family turned to oral and maxillofacial surgeons. A CT scan showed that a fragment of the fish's jaw was still hidden deep in the tissue below the eye. The surgeons faced a difficult task: to remove the foreign body without leaving the child with unnecessary scars. The doctors did a magnificent job - they removed a fragment of the jaw through a narrow wound channel left by the fish itself, without a single additional incision. Now the child is not in danger, he is recovering. Stay up-to-date on events everywhere: OK VK max.
