Yemen national gets relief after 18 years as docs in B'luru remove bullet from head
Bengaluru, Dec 12: Facing an enduring challenge of deafness, a Yemen national is now fine after 18 years, thanks to the operation he underwent in a private hospital in the city.
Doctors removed a three centimetre bullet from the head of the man.
"He has now returned to his country and is doing well," a source in the hospital told PTI.
The Yemen national found himself caught in the crossfire. Shot in the head during a harrowing incident, he became an unwitting casualty of war, left to navigate a life marred by unrelenting suffering, Aster RV Hospital, where he was operated upon, said in a statement.
The bullet was deeply lodged in the left temporal bone, very close to the vital vascular structures, which posed a surgical challenge, according to the hospital.
The team of ENT surgeons led by Dr Rohit Udaya Prasad along with Dr Vinayak Kurle successfully removed a three centimetre long bullet from the ear of Yemeni patient who had been living with the foreign object for an astonishing 18 years, the hospital said.
The surgical team faced obstacles in obtaining clear imaging due to the bullet's location, said the hospital, adding, MRI was ruled out because of a metal object inside his head. Further, CT Angiography was done to identify the bullet along with its proximity to the vascular structures.
Doctors also employed X-ray imaging which provided a two-dimensional perspective. The decision to explore the possibility of removal was made, considering the patient's persistent symptoms.
The surgery was done under general anesthesia carefully removing the surrounding bone to access the bullet. The doctors discovered a fibrous capsule around the bullet, preventing it from adhering to vital structures. This allowed them to successfully remove the bullet in one piece, the hospital said.

BCI urges CJI to take action against Andhra HC judge for sending young lawyer to 24-hour custody
New Delhi (PTI): The Bar Council of India on Wednesday sought the urgent intervention of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant following a "deeply disturbing" incident where a judge of the Andhra Pradesh High Court reportedly sent a young advocate to
24-hour judicial custody over a procedural lapse.
The Bar Council of India (BCI) Chairperson and senior advocate Manan Kumar Mishra, in a formal representation, termed the conduct of Justice Tarlada Rajasekhar Rao "grossly inappropriate" and "damaging to the confidence of the Bar".
“I most respectfully request your Lordship to kindly take immediate institutional cognizance of the matter and call for the video recording of the proceedings, the order passed, and the surrounding circumstances.
“I further request that appropriate administrative action may kindly be considered, including withdrawal of judicial work from the learned Judge pending review, his immediate transfer to some far off High Court, and his nomination for appropriate judicial training/orientation on court management, judicial temperament, Bar-Bench relations, and proportional exercise of contempt/judicial authority,” Mishra wrote.
This representation is made to preserve the “dignity, moral authority and public confidence of the judiciary”, he said, adding, “Judges command the highest respect not by fear, but by fairness, patience, restraint and constitutional humility”.
The communication urged the CJI to intervene at the earliest to ensure that the faith of Bar, particularly young advocates, in the protective and corrective role of the judiciary is restored.
The controversy stems from proceedings on May 5.
According to the BCI, a video circulating online shows Justice Rao rebuking a young advocate who was unable to produce a specific order copy during a hearing.
The letter said that despite the advocate "repeatedly seeking pardon and mercy" and claiming he was in physical pain, the judge remained "unmoved".
The judge allegedly told the lawyer, "now you will learn," and mocked his experience before directing the Registrar and police personnel to take him into custody for 24 hours.
The BCI chairperson said that the judge’s actions lacked proportionality and fairness.
"The dignity of the court is not enhanced when a lawyer is made to beg for grace in open court and is still sent to custody for a procedural lapse," the letter said.
"A young lawyer... is an officer of the Court, still learning, still growing, and entitled to correction without humiliation," it added.
The bar body said that such actions create a "chilling effect" on the legal fraternity, particularly among junior members, and undermine the mutual respect required between the Bench and the Bar.
