Chinese Medical Team Performs Life-Saving Surgery in Benin
The patient, who had given birth at another facility, was rushed to the hospital on Friday evening during heavy rain, arriving in critical condition with pallor, extreme weakness, and heavy vaginal bleeding, according to Chinese gynecologists Zhang Huijuan and Guo Li.
"Without losing a second, we activated the emergency response: uterine massage, rapid infusion, continuous oxygen therapy, and oxytocin injection. Every step was precise and coordinated in a race against death," Zhang said.
Further examination revealed a complex injury: along with a second-degree perineal tear, the patient had a severe vaginal wall laceration that caused extensive damage to normal anatomical structures.
The surgery faced an added challenge when a sudden power outage plunged the maternity ward into darkness. "At this critical moment, interpreter Xiao Yamin quickly guided the anesthetist to shine a flashlight," Guo said. "Under this fragile yet steady light, we relied on our professional skills and clinical experience, working with utmost concentration to precisely suture the torn tissues, gradually restore the anatomy, and stop the massive bleeding, ultimately saving the patient's life."
The operation was completed successfully, and the patient’s condition has since stabilized.
