Fortunately, the endoscopist was experienced.
More than a dozen batteries were sequentially retrieved from the stomach, as well as the lid of a cola can...
It took quite a bit of effort!
The good news was that the patient's gastric mucosa was not damaged, and there were no bleeding points, saving a lot of trouble and hassle!
If the ingested items were something huge or dangerously difficult to remove, they could not have been extracted by endoscopy, and surgery would have been the only solution.
Now, it seems a great deal of trouble has undoubtedly been spared.
However, the last two batteries were situated too low for the endoscope to reach, and it was not necessary to operate.
The endoscopist said, "The last two batteries will reach the intestines and should be passed in a few days. Don't worry about it."
Ma Yuehui nodded, "Right, let's get an ECG for the patient and see how it is?"
