(Baonghean.vn) -On December 6, doctors from the Department of Functional Exploration, Nghe An General Hospital of Friendship, performed endoscopic surgery and successfully removed a foreign object from the stomach of Mrs. Vo Thi Luan, 77 years old, residing in Nghi Thinh, Nghi Loc.

The foreign objects were identified as betel nut residue, food, and soaked persimmon sap that had clumped together into a mass measuring 6cm long and 3.5cm wide. Master Le Nhat Huy said that many elderly patients had to be hospitalized because of foreign objects that were food containing pus and fiber that had clumped together due to poor digestion.

Previously, the Department of Functional Exploration also admitted patient Pham Viet Nghia (22 years old), residing in Trang Son commune, Do Luong district, to the hospital with abdominal pain. Doctors discovered a strange, sharp foreign object stuck in the patient's small intestine, causing ulcers, infections and a risk of intestinal perforation. Initially, the treatment was determined to be a laparoscopic surgery to remove the foreign object. After a thorough consultation, the doctors performed surgery on the patient using an endoscope.

On December 5, after more than 4 hours of surgery, the doctors of the Department successfully removed a foreign object from the patient's intestine, a sharp iron clamp, more than 10 cm long. The patient's family said they did not understand why Mr. Nghia swallowed this clamp.
