Girl's condition stable after emergency surgery: Doc
1 2 3 L ucknow: The three-year-old rape survivor, who was admitted to King George's Medical University (KGMU) in a critical condition and underwent emergency surgery, is now stable. Head of the department of pediatric surgery, KGMU, Prof JD Rawat said, "The girl suffered deep injuries on her private parts and there was significant contamination, requiring immediate medical intervention. We performed surgery on her. There was severe tearing and infection, so we conducted thorough cleaning and dressing. Additionally, we created a bypass in her abdomen to prevent stool from passing through the injured area. " "The girl, who weighs around 10-12 kg, was also given a blood transfusion. One unit of blood was administered to her. She is now stable," he added. "We will consider reconstructive surgery only after one-and-a-half months when the wound below is completely infection-free and healing has progressed," said Prof Rawat. He clarified that while the injuries were severe in vaginal and anal regions, there was no damage to internal organs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "The tearing is extensive in the lower portion, but internal organs remain unaffected," he said. The child is expected to remain hospitalised for at least a week, after which she will be discharged but she will require long-term follow-up care. "She will need continuous monitoring, especially during the winter season, and further treatment will be planned accordingly," Prof Rawat said. The victim's parents have been present at the hospital, providing emotional support. "The mother and father have been coming regularly. The mother is pregnant, but they are both attending to the child," he said. Prof Rawat said that the hospital was providing all necessary treatment to ensure her physical recovery, though the psychological trauma would require long-term rehabilitation.
