The evil dog pounced on the child and bitten
At two o'clock in the morning on the 16th, Song Wei, chief physician of the Department of Otolaryngology of Dalian Children's Hospital, was awakened by the urgent phone ringtone - a boy seriously injured in the throat was sent to the hospital and urgently needed rescue.
This seriously injured and critical boy is the one. "There are 4 tooth marks on the front of the child's throat, 3 tooth marks on the right side of the throat, and one on the left! A bite on the front directly bite through the trachea, the thyroid gland was bitten through, and a bite was close to the child's carotid artery, and it almost bite off!" Recalling the examination before the operation, Song Wei still called "thrilling". Compared with the fatal wounds in the throat, a large piece of flesh on the back and neck was torn off, and the bloody wound was not the "focus of attention" of the rescue doctor.
It turned out that on the evening of the 15th, Dongdong, who lives in the rural area of Wafangdian, was playing near his home. A large dog raised by his neighbor suddenly broke free from the iron chain and rushed towards the child. "The 9-year-old Dongdong is quite brave. He fought with this evil dog. Maybe this is the case.

The parents hurriedly carried the child to the hospital for rescue."
More than two hours of surgery to save the child's life
Dongdong was first sent to Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Dalian University.

The child was immediately transferred to the children's hospital. Sure enough, there were many fatal injuries in Dongdong's throat and he had to operate as soon as possible.
At 2 a.m. on the 16th, in the operating room of Dalian Children's Hospital, a team of medical experts led by Song Wei was on high alert. After the operation begins, the doctor first cuts the child's trachea and then explores the tooth one by one to confirm whether it has damaged the nerves and blood vessels. Afterwards, the doctor stomped the child's tracheal rupture.
"The entire operation process lasted for more than two hours, and the child's life was temporarily out of danger after the operation. But because we still need to observe whether we can pass the postoperative dangerous period safely, the child was still sent to the intensive care unit." Song Wei introduced that at present, Xiaodong is about to pass the postoperative dangerous period. As for the aftermath of the evil dog's injury, parents are still negotiating with the dog owner. It is reported that the evil dog injured may be a Tibetan mastiff.
