Mr. PTA got a 3cm long nail stuck deep into his neck
The victim is Mr. PTA (35 years old), a worker at Deep C2A industrial park, belonging to Cat Hai - Dinh Vu economic zone (Hai Phong), who was taken to the emergency room by the company.
Through examination, doctors diagnosed the patient with a screw about 3 cm long pierced, embedded in the 7th cervical vertebra.
The surgery was coordinated by the doctors of the Department of Thoracic Surgery - Cardiology and the Department of Cranial - Spinal Surgery. The doctors successfully removed the foreign body, restored the damage to the carotid artery and vein, and preserved intact nerves.
Doctor Le Minh Son, Head of Thoracic - Cardiovascular Surgery Department, Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital Hai Phong, said that this is a complicated surgery, requiring the team to be very careful. Because in addition to removing foreign bodies and treating vascular damage, the team must also pay attention to nerve damage or avoid nerve damage.
After 11 days of treatment, Mr. A. recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
Dr. Son recommends that ensuring occupational safety is essential to avoid unexpected incidents and risks. People should not be subjective, sometimes very small pieces of metal, seemingly harmless, can also endanger workers' lives.
