Ras Al-Khaimah - A woman swallowed her denture while drinking water at her home in the emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah.
Surgeons working the Ibrahim bin Hamad Obaidullah Hospital intervened promptly and saved the Filipina’s life.
They performed a 15-minute-endoscopic operation on the patient and removed the denture she had swallowed accidentally.
Dr. Mariam Al Khattari, head of the endoscopy department at the hospital said the denture was stuck in the middle part of the esophagus of the 38-year-old Filipina patient.
