Tuyen Quang Provincial General Hospital received a 33-year-old male patient from Chiem Hoa district, Tuyen Quang province, who was admitted with swelling and bleeding in the penis and right scrotum.
Through examination and information gathering, the patient said that while using a nail gun, a piece of metal flew out and penetrated his genitals.
After the accident, the patient was in a lot of pain, bleeding, and unable to urinate, so his family took him to the district medical center for emergency treatment, then transferred him to Tuyen Quang Provincial General Hospital for treatment.
Upon admission, the patient was quickly tested and transferred for emergency surgery.
During the surgery, the surgical team of the Department of Nephrology and Urology, Tuyen Quang General Hospital discovered that the patient had a wound penetrating the right testicle (from the tail of the epididymis to the head of the epididymis), which was bleeding. The surgical team carefully and meticulously performed surgery to remove a metal foreign body, about 4mm in size, then carefully stopped the bleeding, preserved the testicle and placed a drain for the patient.
Doctor Ha Anh Tuan, Department of Nephrology - Urology, Tuyen Quang General Hospital recommends: Workers when using tools and instruments with high damage potential (such as explosive nail guns) need to be careful, pay attention to wearing full protective gear and using the correct techniques to ensure labor safety.
When an unfortunate accident occurs, you should go to the nearest medical facility for timely examination and treatment. Avoid being subjective and self-treating at home, which can easily cause complications and affect your health and life.
