Beida, 27 March 2015:
Surgeons at Tobruk Medical Centre have stabilised a nine year-old girl whose skull was heavily fractured in . . .[restrict]a serious car accident in Beida.
The girl was rushed to the hospital from the scene of the accident where doctors confirmed that her skull was broken in several places and some brain tissue had been damaged. She also sustained a severe gash to the forehead.
According to doctors at the hospital, the surgery was necessary, but very risky. “We had to reconstruct some of the brain tissue, lift up the part of the skull that was pressing on her brain and stop the internal bleeding,” Dr Fraj Al-Jali told the Libya Herald.
Doctors have said that the girl is now stable and recovering from the surgery.
Libya has the highest rates of injuries and deaths due to road accidents in the world. [/restrict]
