According to the HoD, ENT, Dr Yamini Gupta, a patient from Ratlam approached them after feeling a pain in the throat and problems in swallowing food.
“During an X-ray and CT scan of the patient, it was found that an artificial tooth had got stuck in his aesophagus. We removed the tooth after a surgery through laparoscopy and, now, the patient is healthy and can have food,” Dr Gupta told the media.
