Doctors at the civil hospital here have removed a Rs 2 coin stuck in throat of a five-year-old, which she accidentally swallowed. The doctors on Thursday performed a telescopic surgery on the girl, Vaishnavi Mali, to remove the coin.
"I along with surgeon Sachin Pawar and Dr Siddharth Shelke performed a telescopic surgery on Vaishnavi and removed the coin from her throat," said Sanjay Gangurde, head of Ear-Nose and Throat (ENT) department, at the hospital. He said Vaishnavi was given the coin by her grandfather, to buy a chocolate at Manmad town in the district, on Wednesday.
