The girl's family sought medical help right away as she was suffering from extreme stomach pain and frequent vomiting, post which a nursing facility connected to Gwalior Medical College, JAH, first received her.
When she arrived at JAH, a group of accomplished medical professionals under the direction of the department's head Dr. Prashant Srivastava, the unit's in-charge Dr. Prashant Pipariya, and assistant professor Dr. Naveen Kushwaha sprang into action.
The medical team determined that surgery was necessary to remove the phone because it could not be safely removed using less invasive techniques like endoscopy or laparoscopy after performing a comprehensive examination that included ultrasound, X-ray, and CT scan.
For nearly two hours, the surgical team laboured assiduously to securely remove the phone from the girl’s stomach.
