After an accident, a 48-year-old patient continued to experience severe facial swelling, restricted mouth opening, and persistent discomfort. Advanced imaging revealed an unexpected finding: a 7 cm wooden fragment lodged beneath the right eye, along with an orbital floor fracture. A multidisciplinary team at Medanta – The Medicity, Gurugram, led by Dr Ankur Rustagi, Senior Consultant, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, performed a complex surgery to safely remove the foreign body. Simultaneously, the ENT team carried out advanced endoscopic sinus surgery to clear debris and minimise the risk of infection. The result was a smooth recovery. The patient's vision remained unaffected, jaw movement was restored, and there were no signs of infection or complications. Watch how multidisciplinary expertise and surgical precision helped turn a complex clinical challenge into a successful recovery. #Medanta #PatientStory #OralAndMaxillofacialSurgery #ENT #ComplexSurgery #MultidisciplinaryCare #AdvancedSurgery #HealthcareExcellence
