The man five years wore a denture in the lung and almost died from suppuration

In Vladivostok, doctors removed a denture from the bronchus of a 43-year-old man who had been in his airways for about five years. The patient knew that he had accidentally inhaled a foreign object, but for fear did not seek specialized help. During this time, he developed serious inflammation, which led to the formation of a purulent focus in the right lung.

As follows from the message of the Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2, the man repeatedly appealed to doctors with complaints about respiratory diseases. He was disturbed by frequent colds, inflammation of the bronchi and a constant feeling of heaviness in the chest. Doctors prescribed treatment, but the symptoms returned, and to establish their original cause for a long time failed.

At the same time, the patient perfectly understood what could cause health problems. About five years ago, he accidentally inhaled a denture, but decided not to tell the doctors. The man hoped that he would do without serious consequences.

However, the foreign body remained inside the respiratory tract. Over time, the prosthesis was fixed in the bronchi and was almost completely surrounded by overgrown tissues. This greatly complicated the situation, since it was already impossible to extract the object independently.

Gradually, the condition of the Primorye deteriorated. Inflammatory processes were repeated, and then purulent pneumonia developed, complicated by an abscess of the right lung. This condition is accompanied by the formation of a cavity with purulent contents inside the lung tissue and requires medical intervention.

After hospitalization in Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2, specialists established the true cause of the disease. The survey showed that the source of long-term problems with the respiratory system was the denture, stuck in the bronchi many years ago.

The doctors decided to remove the foreign body. Despite the fact that the prosthesis managed to grow into the surrounding tissue, doctors managed to intervene and remove it. According to reports, approximately an hour passed after hospitalization before the object was removed.
