Malala to undergo skull reconstruction, in Britain

By: Reuters, Uploaded: 30th January 2013

Fifteen-year-old Malala Yousufzai, who was shot in October and brought to Britain for treatment, was discharged from the hospital earlier this month to spend time with her family after her initial treatment phase.

Her doctors said on Wednesday she would return to hospital within the next 10 days to undergo surgery known as titanium cranioplasty to repair a missing area of her skull with a specially molded titanium plate.
The shooting of Yousufzai, in the head at point blank range as she left school in the Swat valley, drew widespread international condemnation.
She has become an internationally recognized symbol of resistance to the Taliban’s efforts to deny women education and other rights, and more than 250,000 people have signed online petitions calling for her to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her activism.

British doctors who treated Yousufzai say the bullet hit her left brow but instead of penetrating her skull, traveled underneath the skin along the side of her head and into her shoulder.
The shock wave shattered the thinnest bone of the skull and the soft tissues at the base of her jaw were damaged. The bullet and its fracture lines also destroyed her eardrum and the bones for hearing, rendering her deaf in her left ear.
She is being cared for in a specialist department of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, central England, which has treated hundreds of soldiers wounded in conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Dave Rosser, the hospital’s medical director, said a procedure to insert a cochlear implant to restore her left side hearing and the complicated skull reconstruction surgery would be carried out by a team of 10 doctors and nurses.
The skull will be repaired with a 0.6 mm plate molded from a 3D model created using imaging data from Malala’s skull.
The cranioplasty, which is expected to take between one and two hours, will be carried out first, followed by the cochlear implant operation, which should take around 90 minutes, Rosser said in a statement.

Malala Yousafzai: Queen Elizabeth Hospital surgery to repair skull

Doctors have revealed how they are going to repair a missing area of the skull of Pakistani schoolgirl activist Malala Yousafzai.
Surgeons at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital have been giving details about two procedures due to be carried out on the 15-year-old.
She was discharged from the hospital earlier this month after being shot in the head by the Taliban in October.
The hospital said Malala's surgery would take place in the next 10 days.
The first procedure will involve drilling into her skull and inserting a custom-made metal plate.
Doctors said Malala was completely deaf in her left ear after being shot at point blank range.
'Remarkable recovery'The shockwave destroyed her eardrum and the bones for hearing.
The second procedure will involve fitting a small electronic device that provides a sense of sound to someone who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing.
Both procedures could take a total of four-and-a-half hours.



Dr Dave Rosser, medical director at the QEHB, said: "Her recovery is remarkable and it's a testament to her strength and desire to get better.
"There is no doubt that the surgery she underwent in Pakistan was life saving.
"Had that surgery not been of such a high standard she would have died."
He added her full recovery could take another 15 to 18 months.
Dr Rosser said the missing part of Malala's skull had been put in her abdomen by surgeons in Pakistan to "keep the bone alive".
Doctors in Birmingham have chosen to use a metal plate to repair her skull instead of the bone in her abdomen, which they say may have shrunk.
Dr Rosser added Malala has asked to keep the bone once it has been removed.
An electronic device that provides a sense of sound to people profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing will be fitted as the second part of the procedure

Malala came to prominence when, as an 11-year-old, she wrote a diary for BBC Urdu, giving an account of how her school in Mingora town dealt with the Taliban's 2009 edict to close girls' schools.
Her love for education, and her courage in standing up to the Taliban, earned her a national peace award in 2011.
Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition calling for Malala to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Pakistan government has given Malala's father, Ziaududdin Yousafzai, a job in Birmingham as the education attache at the Consulate of Pakistan for at least three years.

Malala Yousufzai, who was shot in the head by the Pakistani Taliban for advocating girls’ education, is to return to a specialist hospital in Britain for surgery to reconstruct her skull.

My dear fellow Pakistanis , Guys there is too much hate here. You have your doubts but is any of you is sure that the girl did not get hurt or she has not gone through the most destructive period of her life and still is going through. All the hate is so disturbing , we do not know all the truth but unless we know for sure that it is all a lie we should either refrain from commenting or spilling hate comments here.

Imran Khan Exposed involved in CIA and MI6 joint conspiracy...

PTI Chairman Imran Khan, President Javed Hashmi Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Secretary General Dr Arif Alvi and Information secretary Shafqat Mahmood strongly condemned on Tuesday the attack on school van carrying Pakistan’s youngest peace award winner Malala Yousafzai. “The PTI condemns those perpetrating terror attacks and believes that sheer lack of concern regarding the law and order situation by the current government resulted in this incident. The party calls for a thorough investigation into the matter, besides providing the best possible treatment to this brave girl and the others injured in the attack,” they said in a statement.“Malala had been receiving threats to her life but the government did not take the required steps to address the issue. We as a nation are proud of this young girl who was working hard for the promotion of peace and education in her hometown,” they said and called for stern action against those who committed this cowardly act. They said the provincial and the federal government had miserably failed to protect and safeguard a common person’s life and they seemed to be helpless in controlling these acts of violence.
