15cm Knife Removed From Face
Published: February 23, 2004
Surgeons in India have performed an extraordinary feat by safely treating a woman who arrived at hospital with a 15cm blade embedded in her face.
Doctors in the town of Thiruvananthapuram in the south Indian state of Kerala spent an hour discussing how to remove the blade, before embarking on a five hour life-saving operation.
An initial examination revealed that the 15cm blade had pierced the face below the right nostril and reached the base of the right ear.
The sharp edge of the knife was almost touching the root of her jugular vein.
