The medical team at Monufiya University Hospitals has achieved a major success in saving the life of a special-needs patient who ingested metal objects after being left unattended by his family. The patient, a 45-year-old individual, experienced continuous vomiting and severe pain in the upper abdomen, prompting the medical team to take immediate action.
The Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit in the Department of Internal Medicine performed an endoscopy on the patient, revealing the presence of various metal objects in the stomach, including tea spoons, a chain, nails, a razor, and two car spark plugs. These objects had caused chronic inflammation in the stomach wall, leading to severe pain and discomfort for the patient.
Following the endoscopy, the patient was transferred to the surgery department for an urgent operation. The surgical team successfully conducted a two-hour-long operation to remove the metal objects from the patient’s stomach, ultimately saving the patient’s life. Thanks to the swift and efficient response of the medical team, the patient is now in good condition and is receiving ongoing medical treatment in the department.
President of the University, Ahmed al-Qasid, praised the efforts of the medical team and highlighted the successful outcome of the operation. The significant achievement in saving the life of the special-needs patient is a testament to the expertise and dedication of the medical professionals at Monufiya University Hospitals.
This remarkable case serves as a reminder of the importance of timely medical intervention and the critical role played by skilled healthcare professionals in addressing emergency situations. The successful treatment of the patient demonstrates the commitment of Monufiya University Hospitals to delivering high-quality medical care and ensuring positive outcomes for all patients, regardless of their individual needs.
