Now is a great season for fishing, and fishing friends are "fully armed" and go into battle. Recently, fishing friend Mr. Zeng (surname changed) accidentally hit his chin when swinging the hook. He was in great pain and could not remove it on his own. Finally, with the help of a dental surgeon from Wuhan Puren Hospital, he was able to successfully "decouple".
Mr. Zeng, 36, is a true "senior fishing friend". On the morning of April 21, seeing that the weather and temperature were suitable for fishing, he took his "guys" and went straight to the lake he often visited. After making preparations and building a nest while fishing, Mr. Zeng confidently hung up the lure hook and swung the hook toward the lake, but in an instant, he felt a sharp pain in his jaw. Mr. Zeng took a closer look and discovered that the ten-centimetre-long lure hook hit his chin. Due to the barbs, Mr. Zeng did not dare to take it out by himself. He quickly cut off the fishing line and rushed to Wuhan Puren Hospital. See a doctor.
The dental surgeon Zhong Yuan who received the treatment looked at the wound and found that a lure fishhook with a total length of nearly 10 centimeters was hung on Mr. Zeng’s chin, and a metal fishhook about 2 centimeters deeply penetrated into the skin, so he called in the dental surgeon. Fan Renxiu, the attending physician of the department, coordinated the treatment. "This kind of metal fish hook is often prone to residual rust stains or other contaminants. In addition, the periphery of the mouth and chin are covered with blood vessels. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause blood vessel rupture or infection." Fan Renxiu, an attending physician in the Department of Stomatology explained.
Later, after further inspection, the doctor found that the fishhook on Mr. Zeng's mouth had penetrated completely into his chin. The fishhook was made of steel, with barbs on the front and a wide tail on the back, making it difficult to dispose of.
After being fully prepared, the doctor quickly arranged for disinfection, anesthesia, and incision of the surrounding skin. Since the fishhook had penetrated Mr. Zeng’s chin, in order to prevent the skin from being damaged when cutting the fishhook, the doctor first asked the nurse to pull his lips outward to secure the fishhook firmly. Then, while chatting with Mr. Zeng to relax him, the doctor Carefully use vascular forceps to gently open the tissue around the barb, and then pull out the fishhook little by little in the direction of the barb. Finally, the fishhook on Mr. Zeng's mouth detached smoothly. After cleaning the wound, the doctor used beauty thread to remove it. stitched. On April 28, Mr. Zeng came to the dental department to have the sutures removed, and the wound was recovering well.
The fishhook was successfully removed
Zhou Qianwen, director of the Department of Stomatology at Wuhan Puren Hospital, reminded that it is crucial to take good protection during fishing. It is recommended to choose non-slip and stable fishing shoes to ensure stability even on slippery shores; secondly, it is also recommended to choose a more secure pole throwing technique to avoid accidental injuries. If you are unfortunately caught in the flesh by a fishhook, you must first stay calm and avoid violent shaking that may cause the wound to expand. If the fishhook is too deep or is in a special position and is difficult to pull out, do not pull it by force and seek medical attention immediately to avoid further aggravating the injury or causing other complications.
