A doctors' team at Mumbai's JJ Hospital successfully removed a knife embedded in a man's face without making a single external incision. Doctors used an endoscopic procedure through the nasal passage to safely extract the weapon after it reportedly remained lodged for nearly 11 hours.
Mumbai: Doctors at Mumbai's state-run JJ Hospital successfully saved the life of a 30-year-old man by removing a knife lodged deep inside his left cheek without making a single external incision on his face, in a rare and complex endoscopic surgery.
Patient Injured In Violent Altercation
The patient, a resident of Nashik, had suffered the injury during a violent altercation with a friend, who allegedly attacked him with a sharp, wire-cutter-like knife following a minor dispute. The weapon became deeply embedded in the left side of his face and remained lodged there for nearly 11 hours.
After receiving initial treatment in Nashik, the critically injured man was referred to JJ Hospital on July 25. A CT scan revealed that the knife had pierced the left maxillary sinus and extended into the infratemporal fossa, a region located behind the upper jaw and close to major blood vessels and facial nerves.
