What do doctors use to remove a lodged bullet from body?
There are a few different methods that doctors can use to remove a lodged bullet from the body, depending on the location and size of the bullet.
* Surgery is the most common method for removing a lodged bullet. The doctor will make an incision in the skin over the bullet and then carefully remove it with surgical instruments.
* Endoscopy is a procedure that can be used to remove lodged bullets from the digestive tract. The doctor will insert a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end into the digestive tract and then use surgical instruments to remove the bullet.
* Laparoscopy is a procedure that can be used to remove lodged bullets from the abdomen or pelvis. The doctor will insert a small camera and surgical instruments into the abdomen or pelvis through small incisions and then use the instruments to remove the bullet.
* Fluoroscopy is a procedure that uses X-rays to help the doctor locate a lodged bullet. The doctor will insert a small camera and surgical instruments into the body and then use the X-rays to guide the instruments to the bullet.
In some cases, it may not be possible to remove a lodged bullet from the body. This is usually because the bullet is located in a difficult-to-reach area or because it is too risky to attempt surgery. In these cases, the doctor may recommend leaving the bullet in place and monitoring the patient for any complications.
