Advanced Endoscopy at IQ City Hospital Saves 4-Year-Old Child Without Open Surgery After Swallowing Iron Nail

Doctors at IQ City Medical College Hospital successfully rescued a 4-year-old child who had accidentally swallowed a sharp iron nail, causing severe internal pain and complications. Although other healthcare facilities advised high-risk major open surgeries, our multidisciplinary clinical team—led by Gastroenterologist Dr. Nirmalya Saha, Pediatrician Dr. Monisha Dey, Anesthesiologist Dr. Sohini Dutta, and Endoscopy Technician Ranjit/Shamil—utilized cutting-edge emergency endoscopy to safely extract the foreign object without any surgical incisions. The young patient recovered swiftly and has successfully returned to a normal diet.
