In Dagestan, doctors helped a man with an unusual problem.
A patient who had 35 maggots found in his eye had the worms successfully removed and his vision saved.
This was reported in the Telegram channel of the ROB named after Kh. O. Bulach.
According to the publication, a homeless man was admitted to the hospital. Doctors discovered that he had several worms in his eyes.
After this, the patient was transferred to the Kh. O. Bulach Regional Hospital.
Doctors operated on the man, as a result of which about 35 maggots were removed from his eye.
As noted, the fly larvae ranged in size from 4 to 12 millimeters. The situation was critical: the parasites had eaten away the cornea and mucous membrane of the victim's eye.
Doctors administered local anesthesia and removed all the maggots from the man's eye. Thanks to the prompt surgical intervention, doctors were able to achieve success and preserve the patient's vision.
It is noted that the patient feels well and is recovering.
