Associate Professor Murat Kabaklıoğlu from the Pediatric Surgery Service at Kayseri City Hospital successfully performed the surgery to remove the hairball. He explained that the girl had been consuming hair for a long time, and the accumulation in her stomach and duodenum had caused her symptoms.

This case serves as a reminder for families to pay attention to their children’s behaviors and seek medical attention if they notice any unusual symptoms. It is crucial to address potential health issues promptly to prevent complications like the one experienced by this young girl in Kayseri.
