Doctors at SSKM Hospital removed the intact glass bulb from the stomach of the four year old Pratima Aleymagar successfully.

Had the torch bulb broken inside the girl’s stomach, the glass could have caused immense damage to her organs.

Confirming the development, surgeon Arunabha Sengupta, who operated on the girl said, “Aleymagar underwent a surgery Thursday morning. The width of the bulb was 2 mm and it was struck so tightly inside the left bronchia that the slightest pressure would have led to her death.”

On Feb 16, Aleymagar had swallowed a 2 mm X 1 mm bulb while playing at her residence in Narendrapur town in South 24 Parganas district.

Doctors at SSKM Hospital were successful in helping Pratima, a four-and-half-year-old girl to breathe comfortably again. She swallowed a bulb of 2mm diameter while playing outside her home 10 days back. The bulb got struck in her left bronchus - a branch of the windpipe.

Arunabha Sengupta, an associate professor at the ENT department of SSKM, said: "The bulb had got stuck in her left lung. Her condition was deteriorating fast and only surgery could save her. We had to make sure that the bulb did not break. We managed to pull it out by its filament."
