Sharing a gripping incident: a 12-year-old girl suffered a firecracker injury while innocently watching.

The surgical procedure was both surprising and delicate, as we carefully removed the pin from the retina, rotated it internally in the vitreous cavity, and safely extracted it through a corneal incision.
