According to a report by Jiangsu Public News Channel "News Space Station": On July 6, doctors at Huai'an Maternal and Child Health Hospital removed a button battery with a diameter of 2 cm from the belly of a one-year-old girl An'an. Fortunately, although the battery has been in the body for two days, it has not leaked yet.
An'an's parents said that they bought a new button battery, but it "missed" soon after. Liu Mengxu, deputy chief physician of the Department of Pediatric Surgery at Huaian Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that after two days, the parents were still worried, so they went to the local hospital to take X-rays and finally found the battery!
Considering that the battery has been in the abdominal cavity for two days, the battery soaked in digestive juice is easy to leak. The release of harmful substances will corrode the gastrointestinal mucosa, and may cause perforation in severe cases, so it should be removed immediately.
Liu Mengxu told reporters that during the operation, it was found that the battery was stuck in the pyloric tube. It was stuck very tightly because it took too long and it could not go down, and it was difficult to take it out. At that time, it seemed that it had almost no damage to the pylorus or gastric tissue, so it was relatively lucky.
Doctors said that every summer vacation is a period of high incidence of accidental injuries to children. Among them, swallowing of foreign objects accounts for the majority, and parents must strengthen the supervision of young children. If you suspect that your child has swallowed a foreign object, do not try to solve the problem by eating leeks, drinking sesame oil, etc. The most correct choice is to send the child to the hospital as soon as possible. In addition, children are more curious about things and want to taste small things when they see them, so small items at home must be placed carefully.
