Healing Hands of Bengaluru: Successful Surgery Removes Bullet Embedded in Yemeni Patient's Lung for Two Years

In a remarkable display of medical expertise and precision, Aster RV Hospitals in Bengaluru achieved a rare feat in cardiothoracic surgery by successfully extracting a bullet lodged in the chest wall of a 21-year-old patient from Yemen, a condition that persisted for nearly two years.


21-year old Wasim (name changed), sought medical attention at Aster RV Hospitals after experiencing persistent cough, breathing difficulties, and blood in sputum. Despite no external signs of injury, an X-ray revealed the presence of a metallic object within the chest wall. Further investigations through CT chest imaging uncovered the startling discovery of a bullet that had traversed obliquely, embedding itself amidst critical organs such as the lung, liver, heart, and diaphragm.

Hailing from the war-torn region of Yemen, Wasim had endured multiple gunshot wounds during the civil unrest in his homeland. While his external wounds had seemingly healed, the concealed bullet remained a source of incessant pain and discomfort. Previous medical interventions had overlooked the presence of the bullet, exacerbating Wasim's anguish.

Driven by relentless pain and a quest for relief, Wasim sought alternative treatments and underwent numerous medical consultations, yet the underlying cause of his symptoms remained undiagnosed. The emotional and financial toll of his condition weighed heavily on his family, amplifying the urgency for a definitive solution.

Undergoing a thorough examination at Aster RV Hospital, Wasim's condition was meticulously evaluated, unveiling the presence of a 4x2x2 cm bullet lodged perilously close to vital organs. Led by Dr. Divakar Bhat, a Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgeon, the subsequent surgery was a meticulously planned two-hour procedure, characterized by precision and strategic incisions tailored to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.

Dr. Divakar Bhat emphasized the unique challenges posed by the delicate nature of the affected organs and the necessity for meticulous planning to ensure the safety of the patient during surgery. Despite the complexities, the surgical team, guided by fluoroscopic imaging, successfully removed the bullet with minimal margin from vital structures, ensuring the patient's safety.

Following the surgery, Wasim exhibited a remarkable recovery, displaying an appetite for food immediately after the procedure. The success of this intricate surgery not only restored Wasim's health but also reinstated his ability to provide for his family, underscoring the transformative impact of skilled medical intervention.

Dr. Divakar Bhat expressed gratitude for the interdisciplinary collaboration and seamless coordination among the medical team, highlighting the significance of meticulous planning and expertise in tackling complex cases. This unprecedented success serves as a testament to the unwavering commitment of Aster RV Hospitals to deliver exceptional healthcare and restore hope to patients facing daunting medical challenges.
