In the medical profession, doctors often have to face such cases that make one shudder just thinking about them. But doctors take them as a challenge and relieve patients from serious diseases. Recently, a case came to light in Vietnam which once again elevated doctors to the status of God.

Due to this, his condition became critical and he developed peritonitis. The doctors immediately performed surgery and succeeded in removing the eel from his body. This strange incident shocked everyone and became a topic of discussion.
According to the Oddity Central website, doctors estimated that the eel, around 32 centimetres long, somehow entered the man’s body through his anus and reached his intestines. The hospital immediately deployed an endoscopy team, but they were unable to reach the eel alive.
Even the doctor remained in his usual manner!
The patient’s stomach pain increased rapidly and the doctors had to perform a stomach surgery. During the surgery, the doctors not only removed a live eel about 65 cm long and 10 cm thick, but also removed a lemon stuck in the person’s rectum. This incident became a challenging case for the doctors.
What difficulty did the doctor face during the operation?
The lead surgeon of this entire case, Dr. Pham Man Hung, told a newspaper that this is a very rare case in itself. He faced many difficulties during the operation. The doctor said that there is a lot of stool in the intestines and there is also a risk of bacterial infection. However, the operation has been completed safely and no problems arose. The patient is now out of danger.
Eel is a fish that looks like a snake. It can survive for a long time even outside the water. Its skin does not have scales like Katla or Rohu fish. It is sticky and slippery.
