A delicate surgery was crowned with success, ending the suffering of an Algerian with a dagger stuck in his back for 25 years, which caused him health and psychological problems, as a Tunisian medical team managed to extract a deep dagger 5cm..
Tunisian and Algerian media quoted the patient, called “Tarek F”, saying the case dates back to 1997, when he collided with a person in Setif state, to stab him, and was later transferred to hospital for treatment, and the medical personnel did not notice the presence of the dagger..
And the patient added that in the past years, and because of the pain, as he says, he continued to receive injections and sedatives, without knowing the cause of the pain, and months ago he discovered the presence of the dagger in his back after doing an x-ray..
“The doctors at the Setif hospital were afraid to operate on him, as the dagger was close to his spine,” he said.
