У двухлетней девочки из Ферганы удалили 135 магнитных шариков.

The girl swallowed them while playing. Her parents noticed the issue and reached out to the branch of the Republican Scientific Center for Emergency Medicine in the Fergana region, where doctors attempted to remove some of the balls using conservative methods, inducing vomiting. However, a significant number remained inside.

Later, the parents brought the child to Tashkent, to the central branch of the Republican Scientific Center for Emergency Medical Assistance. In the capital, the doctors operated for 4.5 hours and successfully removed all 135 balls.

At this moment, the girl is feeling well and is under the supervision of specialists.
