"Surgeons Extract Live 30cm Eel from Man's Abdomen in Bizarre Medical Emergency"
Vietnamese doctors successfully removed a live 30-cm-long eel from a man's abdomen after it caused intestinal perforations, leading to peritonitis. The eel had to be surgically removed, along with a necrotic colorectal segment of the intestines, but the operation was successful, and the patient is now stable. The man is still under observation at the hospital, and while he couldn't explain how the eel ended up in his abdomen, doctors believe it crawled from the anus, bit through the intestine, and entered the abdomen, shocking hospital staff with its survival inside the man's body.
