Jakarta - The whistle lodged in the body of Asep
Yaya (9) for two months was finally appointed. This small object was
accidentally swallowed by Asep and made his breath sound like a trumpet and
often made it crowded.
Quoted from detikNews, the appointment process took
place on Thursday (12/20/2018) at around 08.00 WIB by a team of doctors from
Hasan Sadikin Hospital (RSHS) Bandung for one hour. This process uses an
endoscopic procedure called bronchoscopy. Is that?
"Bronchoscopy is an endoscopic procedure by
inserting a tube such as a hollow pipe for rigid bronchoscopy or a camera in
the form of a flexible cable and can be controlled by the operator to the
airway through the vocal cords until the whistle is found," explained Dr.
Dr. Fauziah Fardizza, SpTHT-KL (K) , chief neck surgery consultant from Cipto
Mangunkusumo Hospital to detikHealth, recently.
Bronchoscopy is usually done to find the cause of
problems in the lungs, according to the Mayo Clinic website. For example, as in
the case of Asep where the whistle is swallowed and is caught in the main
branch of the left bronchi, or when a person experiences persistent coughing
and abnormal chest x-ray scans.
Even though it has been lodged in Asep's body for
two months, the shoe whistle does not have an impact on breathing problems, but
if it is not immediately removed it can pose a serious risk. After the
operation, the team of doctors will make further observations. It is estimated
that Asep will be able to return home from Friday, December 21, 2018.
