Kolkata Doctors Remove Magnet from Six-Year-Old Boy's Lung Using Special Device
Doctors at Kolkata Medical College and Hospital successfully removed a magnet lodged in the right lung of six-year-old Arafat Ali after conventional forceps attempts failed. The child was admitted with coughing and breathing difficulties. After a tracheostomy to secure breathing, doctors used a specially designed small magnet, fabricated locally, attached to bronchoscopy forceps to retrieve the lodged magnet. The procedure, led by ENT specialists, saved the child's life and avoided more invasive surgery.
