The People's Hospital of Yichang City, Hubei recently treated a 54 -year -old "old slow branch" patient. After careful diagnosis, the doctor found that it turned out that a ball -beaded pen holder in suction in the lungs when he was 10 years old was making a strange.

The 54 -year -old Mr. Mei lived in Yidu, Hubei. In the past 10 years, she has repeatedly cough and sputum. I have been rooted in how to cure. A month ago, Mr. Mei ’s cough symptoms worsened. The local hospital performed a bronchial mirror inspection and found that its airway was narrow. The left main bronchium had new foreign bodies, which may be lung cancer. This scared Mr. Mei and immediately referred it to the People's Hospital of Yichang City.

On July 11, Mr. Mei lived in the people of respiratory and critical condition in the people of Yichang Center. After a careful examination, the doctor found that the new creature was originally a foreign body wrapped in the hyperplasia. Doctors tried to pinch, dilatation of the balloon, and laser burning, and failed to remove the foreign body. After joining the clinic of chest and heart surgeons, she was ready to perform thoracoscopic surgery for Mr. Mei.

In order to figure out what the foreign body is, the attending doctor Che Zhidan asked Mr. Mei to recall it carefully. Mr. Mei vaguely remembered that when he was in elementary school 44 years ago, he accidentally swallowed the half -beaded pen holder. Because there were no bronchoscopy and other equipment that year, there was no clear diagnosis and treatment. Mr. Mei didn't feel uncomfortable after that, so he didn't take it anymore.

According to this, Che Zhidan judged that the biological body that made a strange body in Mr. Mei was a high probability that the half -beaded pen holder was. On the morning of July 15th, the doctor of the cardiac surgery performed a minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery for Mr. Mei.

Doctors saw through thoracoscopy that because the cyclone pen holder was stuck in the bronchial section of the lower leaf base of Mr. Mei, the left lower lung was repeatedly infected, which caused the lungs and the lung abscess. resection. The perennial infection leads to the serious lung tissue and chest adhesion of the lesion, and the surgery is not easy to do. Doctors carefully separate the exfoliation. After more than an hour, the left lower lung was successfully removed.

The doctor's cut -off lung tissue, found that the half -pearl pen holder, stood up in the lungs like a bullet. This is the culprit that made Mr. Mei repeatedly cough and sputum for many years.
