An Indian man was hospitalized in Hanoi after inserting a live eel into his anus, which punctured his intestines and entered the abdominal cavity.

The patient was admitted to Viet Duc Hospital on July 27 with severe abdominal pain. After informing doctors of his actions, a scan was conducted to locate the eel.

Le Nhat Huy, Vice Director of the Department of Colorectal and Perineal Surgery, stated that doctors initially attempted to use endoscopy to remove the eel. However, they discovered a large lime obstructing the rectum.

Due to the eel's location and the patient's pain, surgery was deemed necessary. Surgeons successfully removed the live eel, which measured 65 cm, from the patient's body. The eel had punctured the intestine and entered the abdominal cavity.

Following the eel's removal, doctors extracted the lime through the anus.

The reasons behind the patient's decision to insert the lime and the eel remain unclear.
