Chinese boy, 11 years old, swallow gold bar weighs 100 grams, doctor performs emergency operations
In a shocking and shocking incident, an 11-year-old Chinese boy swallowed a 100g gold bar while playing in his home. A boy from Jiangsu Province was taken to the hospital for surgery. Qian warned his parents after noticing that his abdomen was swelling unnaturally. However, he felt no pain or even mild discomfort, but seeing a strange bloating in his stomach, Qian’s parents immediately took him to the Children’s Hospital Affiliated to Suzhou University. In a report from the Southern Morning Post, after an X-ray examination, the doctor found a heavy metal object in the boy’s intestine. After the operation was completed, the doctor was confirmed that the object was actually a solid gold bar weighing about 100 grams.
Initially, the doctor gave the boy to avoid surgery as much as possible. They think the medication may help the gold bars pass through the digestive system comfortably. But two days later, after another scan of the abdomen, the doctor found that the gold bar was still in the stomach. This warns doctors who are concerned about possible gut blockage or internal damage.
Considering the possible risks, doctors consider endoscopic surgery to remove the gold bar. Two surgeons performed the operation on the boy who spent 30 minutes. The operation was successful and the doctor safely took out the gold bar from the child’s body. After the operation, it was normal and continued to eat regularly. The doctor further relieves the child’s parents by revealing that the gold bar will not cause any long-term damage to his digestive system or any other part of his body. Not long after, he was discharged from the hospital.
Similar incidents have occurred in China before. A four-year-old boy reportedly consumed a bracelet composed of 18 magnetic beads in 2023. The doctor thought the boy had appendicitis, but later
The ultrasound was completed and they found the beads trapped in his abdominal cavity.
