An eight-year-old girl who tripped over and fell on a pole on a construction site and an iron road went right through her jaw and out of mouth has miraculously recovered.
Taliba, who resides in the Kheri area of Uttar Pradesh, India, was freed after being cut free and transferred to a hospital, where doctors performed a 35-minute surgery to remove the pole.
Doctors said that it miraculously missed important blood veins and nerves that supply the brain and that the child was talking within eight hours.
The operation’s medical director, Dr. Rajkumar Koli, stated: “It was the most harrowing case I’ve met in my professional life.”
The doctor added that because of the accident’s seriousness, he advised the family to transport her to a medical college 140 kilometers away, but they were unable to do so, leaving him to do the procedure.
Taliba is now making a complete recovery at home, where he is able to talk and eat. The Bhulanpur village resident’s eight-year-old daughter was playing outdoors when she tripped over the sticking out rod.
The other kids ran to grab her family as it penetrated through her lower jaw and came back out of her mouth.
Around 6 p.m. on October 4, they removed a section of the road and hurriedly transported her to Motipur, the closest district hospital, which was 15 kilometers away.
Dr. Koli stated: “I was summoned to do the emergency operation due to the girl’s serious condition.
“I had the patient’s vital signs examined and advised the girl’s parents to transport her to Lucknow Medical College, which was around 140 kilometers away, because of the risk.
However, the parents asked me to do the operation since they were unable to move the child that far.
It was a difficult scenario since the district hospital’s x-ray department closes at 5 o’clock.
I then began the operation to preserve the main blood vessels around the punctured region as soon as I told the anesthetist to use local anesthesia.
The rod had firmly been trapped, so in order to free it, I had to make a 1 cm incision and carefully take the rod out. It was completed in in approximately 35 minutes.
The doctor went on to say that it was fortunate that the rod had missed any blood arteries that supply the brain and windpipe.
It was difficult to remove the rod without even slightly damaging those organs, according to Dr. Koli.
The patient was moved to the ward for recovery when the bleeding from the outside was stopped, the wound was dressed, and her condition was stabilized.
The patient was released three days later. Within eight hours of the rod being properly removed, the child began speaking.
“The child is now definitely doing well at home and is able to speak and eat properly,” was the statement.
