In Vladivostok, doctors removed a dental prosthesis that an 80-year-old pensioner had carried inside him for a week
Doctors at Vladivostok Clinical Hospital No. 1 endoscopically removed a dental prosthesis accidentally swallowed by an 80-year-old man. The pensioner endured the pain for a week, hoping his 'stomach would handle it on its own.' The prosthesis damaged the mucosa and threatened esophageal perforation. The patient was discharged after the procedure.
