When Reality is Stranger Than Fiction: A Rare Medical Save at SRMS Hospital
We often hear about unique medical cases, but this one left our entire team at *Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences (SRMS IMS), Bareilly truly astonished!
25-year-old Suraj Gupta arrived at our emergency department with severe abdominal pain and a history of substance abuse. While we suspected a foreign object on initial work-up, nothing prepared us for what we found during the diagnostic endoscopy.
Suraj’s stomach was filled with a staggering number of industrial-grade metal screws and washers.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞:
Extracting sharp, heavy metal objects from the delicate lining of the oesophagus and stomach is a high-stakes procedure. The risk of internal tearing or *perforation was* extremely high, especially since the patient was restless and unable to undergo general anesthesia.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬:
Under the expert guidance of Dr. Shivam Gupta (MD, DM – Gastroenterology) and our dedicated nursing team, we performed a meticulous, non-surgical endoscopic retrieval. One by one, we successfully removed every single piece of metal, completely clearing the stomach cavity without a single incision.
Today, Suraj is healthy, pain-free, and on the road to a full recovery.
At SRMS Hospital, we believe that every complex case is an opportunity to push the boundaries of medical excellence. Whether it’s a routine check-up or a rare emergency, your health is in safe hands.
Compassion in Practice, Excellence in Care.
