Successful Removal of Foreign Body from Lungs at Shija Hospital

Imphal, March 25, 2025 — In a remarkable medical feat, Shija Hospitals has successfully removed a foreign body from the lungs of a 28-year-old woman using advanced bronchoscopic intervention. The patient had been experiencing persistent coughing and breathing difficulty for over two months, which was later found to be due to an accidentally inhaled object.

Upon clinical examination and imaging, doctors identified the foreign body lodged in the lower lobe bronchus of the right lung. A medical team led by Dr. K. Ramesh Singh, Consultant Pulmonologist at Shija Hospitals, performed the procedure using a flexible bronchoscope under local anesthesia. The procedure lasted approximately 30 minutes and was completed without any complications.

Dr. Ramesh stated that early detection and intervention were key to avoiding long-term damage or infections. The patient is now recovering well and has been discharged with a clean bill of health.

This case highlights the importance of awareness regarding foreign body aspiration and the availability of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic facilities in the region. Shija Hospitals continues to set high standards in minimally invasive procedures and patient care.
