According to the family, D went to school for a craft class, and while playing, accidentally fell and was stabbed in the right cheek by a scissor. The patient was immediately taken to Vo Nhai District Medical Center, then transferred to Thai Nguyen Central Hospital for emergency care and treatment.
At the Department of Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, through initial examination, necessary tests, X-ray and CT scan of the maxillofacial region, the injury was caused by sharp scissors piercing the right cheek through the upper jaw bone into the right maxillary sinus.
Determining this to be a serious domestic accident, especially in a child, the medical team coordinated with the Anesthesia and Resuscitation Department to perform emergency surgery to remove the scissors and hematoma in the maxillary sinus, stop the bleeding, place a drain, and suture and restore the damaged muscles and soft tissues according to the patient's anatomy.
After 5 days of monitoring and care, patient D's health has stabilized, skin and mucous membranes are pink, no fever, the surgical wound is dry and he was discharged from the hospital.
Through the case of patient D, doctors recommend that parents and schools should urge and remind children to be careful when using sharp tools, and not to hold them while playing or fooling around, to avoid unfortunate accidents that may occur.
