“What happens if he can’t get it out? And the answer, really, was part of my lung was going to have to get removed.”
KENOSHA, Wisconsin — While having a tooth filled, a dental patient inhaled the drill bit so deep that he risked losing part of a lung.Luckily, an inventive pulmonary surgeon came up with a way to pull out the inch-long piece of metal.
“I didn’t really even feel it going down,” said Joszi, whose mouth had been numbed. “When they did the CT scan they realized, you didn’t swallow it. You inhaled it.” The doctors called in Abdul Hamid Alraiyes, a pulmonary interventionalist at Aurora Medical Center in Kenosha, Wisconsin, who realized that normal scopes wouldn’t do the job.
In addition to possible tissue damage from the sharp metal, there was a risk of bacterial infection because it had been in his mouth.
