A 6-year-old boy, identified as group A in local reports, suffered a severe injury last month while eating candy on a bamboo stick.According to ⁣reports,⁣ the boy fell on March 26 while biting on⁣ the candy, causing the stick to penetrate⁢ his mouth.

The boy’s parents rushed him to a hospital, where doctors performed emergency CT scans. The ⁣tests revealed that the ⁢4-inch (11cm) bamboo stick had pierced through his mouth, penetrating the ⁤base of his skull ⁤adn reaching his cerebellum.

The‍ medical team determined that removing⁤ the stick surgically ⁣was a high-risk⁢ procedure. The stick was dangerously close to a major vein, potentially leading to severe bleeding if damaged during the operation.

A team of specialists, including‍ neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, ⁤pediatricians, and⁢ dental surgeons, was assembled. after a 7-hour surgery, ⁢the medical team successfully removed the stick without causing damage to⁣ the boy’s brain⁤ or blood vessels.

The boy was discharged from the hospital within two weeks, showing no signs of neurological disorders, complications,⁢ infections,‍ or excessive bleeding.

Following the incident,surgeons issued a warning to parents:⁤ It is indeed very risky for children to run or move ⁢while eating.

If such an accident occurs,never take ‍out the debris in the body and instantly transfer to the hospital. Injuries may worsen in the process of removing ⁤foreign objects.

The surgeons also emphasized the importance of parents being familiar‍ with first aid techniques, particularly how to stop bleeding.

A similar incident⁣ occurred in⁢ 2021, when another child in China ⁣fell and was impaled by a 6-inch (15cm) stick.
