Chinese girl swallows gold bar, saved by endoscopy
A 5-year-old Chinese girl swallowed a 50-gram gold bar approximately 4 cm long while playing at her home, which led to her being taken to the hospital after about six hours. Medical professionals explained that the bar was solid and had a smooth surface, increasing the risk of it getting lodged in the digestive tract and causing serious complications. Through precise endoscopic intervention, the medical team was able to quickly and safely extract the bar. The child's health condition improved and stabilized after the procedure. The incident highlights the importance of not neglecting the possibility of children swallowing foreign objects and advises against attempting to push such objects through the digestive system at home. It also emphasizes the urgency of seeking medical attention immediately if a child swallows a foreign body.
