Stuck several centimeters from the eye: surgeons removed a fragment of the jaw of a needlefish from the boy's face Doctors in Vladivostok had to remove a two-centimeter piece of a fish's jaw from under the eyes of a seven-year-old boy. He "brought" an unusual and dangerous "trophy" in his image from Thailand. There, on the beach, a tropical fish crashed into a boy. She left a cut in the face, and part of the jaw with small teeth broke off and went deep into the tissue near the eye. Thai doctors sutured the wound, but did not remove the fragments. As soon as they got home, the parents went with their son to our doctors. A CT scan (Image 2) showed that a two-centimeter section of jaw with teeth was deeply embedded in tissue just below the eye. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons at Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2 saved the boy's face from unnecessary scars - they performed the operation through a narrow wound channel left by the fish, without making a single new incision. Now the child is recovering quickly.
