A grandmother''s specialty extracts a plastic piece from the esophagus of a grandmother''s child - Salah al-Sharif: Swallowing a piece of plastic caused a child to separate the esophagus from the windpipe, which caused him difficulty swallowing and the story begins, when the mother of the eight-month-old boy noticed his intense crying and suffocation, which made her suspect that Her child has swallowed a foreign body. And after showing it to more than one doctor, they agreed that the child does not complain of any problem. The child Wissam continued to suffer with repeated infections in the chest and lungs for two years, without anyone knowing the reason for this.
And when the child''s condition intensified, and after several hospitals had been reviewed, he was transferred to King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Jeddah, and after the child was examined by Dr. Talal Al-Maghamsi, a consultant pediatric chest specialist in Jeddah, and he made color rays, an abnormal connection between the esophagus and the trachea was discovered. . Based on the belief that this connection is the result of a congenital defect, the child was referred to Dr. Osama Bawazir, a consultant pediatric surgeon at the specialty of Jeddah and an assistant professor at the College of Medicine at Umm Al-Qura University, who made an endoscope of the trachea and the esophagus, and it became clear to him that there was an abnormal connection between them because of the presence of an object A stranger inside a child.
The operation, which lasted six hours, was carried out by the grace of God, during which Dr. Bawazir was able to separate the trachea from the esophagus, eradicate the connection and discover the foreign body that was a piece of plastic, so it was difficult to detect because it did not appear on x-rays according to Dr. Bawazir’s hadith.
He added that the child''s condition, Sam, is one of the very rare cases in which a plastic object was swallowed, which led to the occurrence of this problem, while such a case was previously recorded only once in medical journals in 1980.
