Hooked…in the eye!

This video is about fish hook removal from a human eye. We removed the fish hook from the eye. It was a treble hook that we removed from the eye. The fishing story was that the child was 6 years old and standing behind his cousin. The cousin was using a fishing lure with a treble hook on the end. The older cousin flung the lure behind him and it landed on the child's cheek and before the child could say anything the cousin cast and the hook slid from the cheek into the eye. The child was transferred from the local hospital to our trauma center where I found the kid laying on the gurney with his eyes closed and quiet as a mouse. This is the toughest kid I've seen. He had been given a little bit of pain medication but not a great deal. It had been 5 hours since the hook had imbedded itself in the eye during the fishing trip. We took him to the operating room. To remove the lure from the eye involved removing the lure from the hook and then the treble hook from the eye. Cutting the lure and the hook required a pediatric orthopedic rod/pin cutters. While my resident worked the 2 foot pin cutters I held the cutting blades on the fishing lure and then the treble hook. We then used a combination of betadine and vigamox (moxifloxacin) washes while removing all the and debri that had wrapped around the hook. The iris was a little damage but it was mainly the cornea that was involved. Thankfully the natural lens was not punctured. He likely developed a cataract a few years later but I changed jobs and dont know what became of him. By the time that I left his vision had improved to 20/40. Which is the level of vision one needs for driving vision. I have narrated what happened during the surgery.
