Rare surgery: Indian docs reconstruct child's bronchusPosted by: TangerineRare surgery: Indian docs reconstruct child's bronchus
In a rare feat, doctors at a hospital in Lucknow, India have reconstructed the right bronchus of a two-year-old boy, it was announced here Friday.
It took three hours to reconstruct the right bronchus of Mohammed Salim at the Chhatrapati Sahuji Maharaj Medical University (CSMMU), popularly known as King George's Medical University.
The bronchus is one of two airways connecting the lungs with the main windpipe or trachea. The boy's bronchus was "just 1.5 cm long, while the actual length should have been an inch-and-a-half", said Ashish Wakhlu.
