Doctors at Osmania General Hospital in Hyderabad successfully performed an endoscopy to remove nails, rubber caps, and packets from the stomach of a 21-year-old prisoner named Mohammed Sohail from Chanchalguda jail.
Sohail had complained of severe stomach pain, prompting the police to take him to a hospital. After conducting tests, the doctors advised that he be transferred to Osmania hospital.
During an X-ray examination, doctors discovered two nails in Sohail’s stomach, which he had swallowed two days earlier. On Tuesday, the doctors used endoscopy to remove the nails. They also found two small rubber balls and two packets, which were also removed through endoscopy. The packets were tested for possible cannabis presence.
Dr. Nagender, the Superintendent of Osmania Hospital, commended Dr. B Ramesh and his team from the Department of Gastroenterology for successfully saving the patient’s life without needing surgery.
