Thiruvananthapuram: About 500 grams of concrete stones and pellets were removed from the body of a 35-year-old man, who was injured when fireworks landed on a stockpile of crackers triggering a huge blast at the Puttingal Temple complex in Kollam.
The man underwent a life-saving procedure at the KIMS in which a team of doctors led by Dr Mohammed Nazeer and Dr Madan Mohan removed 500 grams of concrete stones and pellets from his body.
"The victim was brought to KIMS in a medical condition with injuries resembling a war field blast and was immediately taken up for surgery which lasted for three hours", the doctors said.
In another victim brought to the hospital, the presence of a foreign body was identified in the lungs.
The patient, whose elbow was shattered, was taken for emergency surgery by Dr Shaji Palangadan and Dr Mohammed Nazeer.
Through a successful surgical procedure, his life was saved and he is now out of danger.
A 22 year-old-man, who had a severe head injury with brain damage from a concrete piece falling on his head, also underwent a major life saving procedure at the hospital.
A total of 11 major life saving surgeries and 25 other procedures were performed from 6.30 am to 11 pm in three operation theatres at KIMS Trivandrum that was set aside for the management of Paravur victims, a press release said.
