On December 5, Duc Giang General Hospital ( Hanoi ) announced that the hospital had just successfully performed emergency surgery on a male patient who was stabbed by an iron bar from his groin to the back of his right buttock.
The patient is Mr. TV (34 years old, in Thuong Tin, Hanoi), admitted to the hospital in a state of shock and severe pain due to a foreign object (an iron bar about 40 cm long) penetrating through the groin area, through the upper edge of the hip joint and through the back of the right buttock.
Immediately after admission, the patient was resuscitated against shock, hemodynamically stable, and given necessary paraclinical indications and transferred directly to the operating room.

After more than 1 hour of surgery, the iron rod was safely removed, the bruised tissues were cleaned, and all rust and foreign objects were removed. It is expected that the patient will be discharged in about 2 weeks.
After waking up, Mr. TV said that he was a construction worker. While working, he fell onto an iron bar at the top of a concrete pile at a construction site at night, but because no one noticed him at night, he had to lie there until morning when a passerby took him to the emergency room.
Dr. Tran Trung Kien - Head of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology said that the entire surgical team held an emergency consultation, assessed the condition, and found that the patient was at risk of vascular nerve damage and loss of limb function and infection if not intervened promptly, so emergency surgery was indicated.
According to Dr. Tran Trung Kien, in cases where patients are injured like this, it is important to provide proper first aid and fix the foreign object well during the patient's movement so that doctors can handle it better. Absolutely do not arbitrarily remove foreign objects because it can endanger the patient's life.
