Girl's intestines perforated after swallowing hairpin
Four days after swallowing the hairpin, the 12-year-old girl had severe stomach pain and vomited continuously.
At Children's Hospital 2 (HCMC), the patient continued to have abdominal pain and bloody stools. Suspecting that the child's digestive tract was damaged, doctors took an X-ray and determined that the clamp was stuck firmly in the wall of the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).

The surgery was performed that night. Because the foreign object was in a difficult position, it took more than an hour for the doctors to successfully remove the clamp and suture the perforated intestine.
"The 5cm long toothpick with two branches had punctured the small intestine wall, causing an abdominal infection. Without surgery, the patient could be in danger of septic shock," said a doctor.
According to the parents, 4 days before being admitted to the hospital, the child accidentally swallowed a hairpin, and about a day later, he started having stomachaches. At the provincial general hospital, the child vomited a lot and had severe stomachaches. After 3 days of not seeing the foreign object pass out, the doctors decided to transfer him to a higher level.
On the morning of April 25, the patient's health was stable, however, doctors still had to monitor the infection caused by the rusted metal clip.
