In Ras Al Khaimah, a surgical team performed successful removals of harmful objects from two patients. Dr Maryam Al Khatry, Head of the Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Endoscopy Department at Ibrahim Bin Hamad Obaidullah Hospital, led the procedures. The first case involved a 14-year-old boy who had accidentally swallowed a magnet while playing.
The magnet had become lodged among food remnants in his stomach, necessitating a thorough cleaning and suctioning of its contents. Using an endoscopic procedure, doctors retrieved the magnet via a specialised medical net in approximately 15 minutes. The boy experienced no complications. In the second case, a 30-year-old man underwent surgery to have a pair of nail clippers and a battery removed from his stomach.
Dr Azmi Al Shuaibi, from the hospital’s gastroenterology and endoscopy team, carried out this procedure.
