Boy has surgery after accidentally shooting himself in face with 86 pellets
AN 8-year-old-boy was rushed from Anhui Province to Shanghai for surgery yesterday after he accidentally shot himself in the face with 86 pellets while playing with his parents' hunting gun on Tuesday.
Doctors at Shanghai No. 9 People's Hospital performed a five-hour operation on the boy last night to remove the pellets and deal with the broken alveolar bones.
Hospital officials said this morning that the boy is in a stable condition in the intensive care unit and needs more follow-up treatment to repair his face.
His parents first took him to a hospital in Hefei, the capital city of Anhui Province, but he was transferred to Shanghai No. 9 People?s Hospital yesterday in order to receive better care.
The hospital's Dr Xie Ting said in his microblog that the parents weren't clear about what type of gun the boy was playing with but they believed it was a homemade shotgun that farmers typically use to hunt rabbits.
Xie said all the alveolar bones that contain the sockets for the teeth on the upper-right side of his face were destroyed.
