Kota Doctors Successfully Remove Open Safety Pin Lodged Near Child's Brain

The safety pin, found to be open, had caused internal injury and a collection of blood, complicating its extraction. The medical team worked diligently, first anesthetizing the child, then carefully navigating the delicate area to remove the foreign object.

Emergency Admission and Challenging Extraction

Dr. Shemendra Kumar Meena, from the ENT Department at MBS Hospital, shared details of the case. The child was brought to the emergency room on July 21st in the afternoon. His parents reported that the pin had gone into his nose. Further examination revealed the pin had moved beyond the nose, lodging itself in the adenoid area, situated between the throat and the head.

Initial attempts to remove the pin via endoscopy in the emergency operation theatre were challenging. Dr. Meena explained that the open pin had caused internal injury and blood accumulation, obscuring visibility during the endoscopic procedure. Suction was used to clear the blood, allowing the doctors to locate the pin. Given its open state, extreme caution was exercised to prevent further injury during extraction. The child is now reportedly stable, eating, and drinking normally. Unit Incharge Dr. Rajkumar Jain, Dr. Mukesh Somwanshi, and Dr. Shilpa were also part of the medical team.

Family Recounts Frightening Incident

The child's father, a resident of Nainwa, recounted the terrifying incident. On the evening of July 20th, his son was playing at home when he got hold of his mother's safety pin and inserted it into his nose. By the time they realized what had happened, the pin had gone deep inside. They first rushed him to Bundi District Hospital, but the pin could not be removed there. Subsequently, they brought him to MBS Hospital in Kota, where the doctors performed the successful operation.

Doctor's Crucial Advice for Parents

Following the successful procedure, Dr. Meena issued an important advisory for parents. He urged them to keep small, pointed objects like safety pins, peas, peanuts, beads, wheat grains, rubber pieces, or chickpeas out of children's reach. Children often tend to insert such items into their mouths, ears, or noses, leading to potentially dangerous and life-threatening situations.
