A man accidentally swallowed jackfruit kernels a week ago, and only came to the doctor after a week that the symptoms were obvious. Recently, the Second Department of Gastroenterology of the East Hospital of Qingdao Municipal Hospital skillfully took a 5cm*3cm jackfruit kernel through gastroscopy. Experts remind: If you swallow a foreign body in the stomach by mistake, you should seek medical attention in time. The longer the foreign body stays, the higher the risk of complications, such as intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal perforation, etc., which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
Mr. Xin, 33, accidentally swallowed jackfruit kernels a week ago, and only after feeling that he had an unbearable foreign body sensation did he seek medical attention, and a 5cm*3cm oval foreign body in the stomach was found on the abdominal scan, which is very rare. Since it has been a week since the jackfruit kernel has been ingested, if it is not treated, the foreign body will enter the small intestine and cause intestinal obstruction, which may require a surgical laparotomy.
Xian Huibo, director of the Second Department of Gastroenterology of the East Hospital of Qingdao Municipal Hospital, said that in addition to intestinal obstruction, foreign bodies in the digestive tract may also cause complications such as perforation of the digestive tract and massive bleeding at any time, which can cause life-threatening in severe cases. In order to avoid serious consequences, Director Xian Huibo decided to lead the team to immediately perform gastroscopic foreign body removal for Mr. Xin. The large diameter and smooth surface of the jackfruit kernel make it very difficult to grasp the foreign body, and the cardia is very narrow, which is a challenge when removing and passing, all of which greatly increase the difficulty of surgery.
With the efficient cooperation of Zhang Lina, deputy chief physician of the Department of Anesthesiology and Surgery, and Xin Yan, the nurse in charge of the endoscopy center, Director Xian Huibo and Deputy Director Qu Haixia worked together to control and skillfully and gently adjust the angle and direction, and "hand" to grab the jackfruit core and take it out in one fell swoop, so as to successfully remove the "time bomb" crisis for Mr. Xin.
It is understood that in addition to fruit pits, bones, fish bones and other foreign bodies that were accidentally ingested when eating, gastroenterologists in the municipal hospital also took out various foreign bodies such as dentures, lollipops, diamond rings and gastric stones that were swallowed by mistake. For this reason, the doctor hereby reminds the general public friends:
Develop good eating habits, don't gobble up when eating, and don't eat while talking;
Guardians of children and persons with mental abnormalities should enhance their awareness of prevention and stay away from foreign bodies;
Newborns should avoid taking milk powder with too high concentration, which can effectively prevent the formation of gastric milk stones;
The elderly, children, and patients with underlying diseases should pay attention to avoid swallowing by mistake when eating fish, bones, jujubes and other foods with pits;
Elderly people who wear dentures should be especially careful to prevent dentures from falling out and swallowing them by mistake;
The key to preventing plant-based gastric stones is not to eat large amounts of persimmons, hawthorns, black dates, etc. on an empty stomach. Pay attention to food hygiene and avoid swallowing animal hair and causing hairy gastric stones;
If a foreign body is stuck in the esophagus or swallowed by mistake, do not forcibly swallow it by drinking vinegar or swallowing steamed buns, and seek medical attention in time.
