Doctors Save Boy's Life Using Advanced Bronchoscopy
A little boy got a seed stuck in his lung while playing.
The seed made it hard for him to breathe, and his oxygen levels got dangerously low.
Doctors at SVS Hospital used a special tool called a rigid bronchoscopy to look inside his lung.
They found the seed and quickly took it out.
The boy's breathing got better right away.
The hospital said that this kind of treatment is available locally, so people don't have to travel far for help.
A three-year-old boy inhaled a custard apple seed.
The seed blocked his left lung, making it hard to breathe.
Doctors used a rigid bronchoscopy to remove the seed.
The procedure took about five minutes.
The hospital emphasized that advanced treatments are available locally.
