Boy, 9, undergoes kidney surgery after playground fall in Bukit Batok
A nine-year-old boy sustained serious injuries when he fell from the monkey bars at a playground in Bukit Batok, leading to the removal of one of his kidneys. The incident occurred on June 20, and the boy's parents rushed him to the hospital for immediate surgery. Currently recovering in the ICU, the boy's family faces financial concerns due to medical expenses.
A nine-year-old boy fell from the monkey bars at a playground in Bukit Batok, resulting in the removal of one of his kidneys. The incident took place on June 20 around 6pm at a playground beside Block 443D, Bukit Batok West Avenue 8. The boy, Liu Junwen, was playing with other children when he fell from a 1.8-metre high monkey bar, hitting his abdomen on a plastic divider.
His parents noticed he was urinating blood and rushed him to the hospital. X-ray scans revealed a severe rupture in his right kidney, leading to a three to four-hour surgery to remove the kidney. Currently in the ICU at National University Hospital, he is fed through a tube and under observation.
The father hopes their experience will alert other parents to supervise children during playtime. Another incident in Sengkang last year involved a two-year-old who suffered a head wound while playing at a playground. Parents are advised to supervise children at playgrounds and ensure safety.
