Bihar: The medical experts have been left wondering as to how the glass tumbler made its way into the patient's alimentary canal.
A 55-year-old man, suffering from acute constipation and abdominal pain, was on Sunday operated upon by a team of doctors in Bihar's Muzaffarpur, who extracted a glass tumbler from his colon.
The hospital in Madipur locality of the town, has, quite understandably, piqued the curiosity of medical experts and laypeople alike, all of whom have been left wondering as to how the object made its way into the patient's alimentary canal.
According to Dr. Makhdulul Haq, who headed the team of surgeons, the patient hails from Mahua in the adjoining Vaishali district and his ultrasound and X-ray reports had shown that something was seriously amiss with his intestines.
Sharing video footage of the surgery and the X-ray taken before the operation with the media, Dr Haq said, "How the glass tumbler ended up inside, is at present a mystery."
