Successful operation
Baby born with a bullet in its body
A child has been born in Moscow with an air rifle bullet measuring around one centimeter in her stomach. The girl's father had been handling a gun. A shot went off and hit his heavily pregnant wife in the abdomen - and thus the baby.
The incident occurred when the father was handling an air rifle in the backyard of his house. A shot ricocheted off an unknown object and entered the pregnant mother's abdomen.
No vital organs injured
The two of them rushed to hospital immediately. Ultrasound and X-ray examinations showed that no vital organs of the unborn child had been damaged. The doctors therefore decided to postpone the operation until after the birth of the child.
After the baby was born, the doctors were able to remove the bullet from under the baby's skin in the anterior abdominal wall and then stitch the baby up.
Dr. Mikhail Georgievich Rekhviashvili, Head of the Neonatal Surgery Department at the Moscow Maternal and Child Health Center, explained: "There was no danger to the life and health of the mother and child. After the delivery, a scheduled surgical procedure was performed and the projectile was successfully removed."
Family discharged in good health
Shortly after the operation, the parents were able to embrace their baby, whose name was not disclosed. The newborn girl and her mother were discharged in "satisfactory condition".
