Mumbai: 28 September 2022

 

 

In a bizarre case, doctors in India surgically removed 62 spoons from the stomach and one spoon lodged in the intestine of a patient.

 

The patient named Vijay was brought to Evan Hospital in Muzaffarnagar city of Uttar Pradesh, India, in the second week of September by his family members claiming that he had eaten a steel spoon.

 

“The patient did not complain of any abdominal pain, but I conducted an examination of his stomach and came to the conclusion that some foreign objects are lodged in his stomach,” said surgeon Dr Rakesh Khurana who conducted the surgery.

 

The doctor asked the patient to undergo an X-ray examination and was aghast to discover multiple spoons lodged in the patient’s stomach and one in the intestine.

 

“On being asked, the patient admitted that he had been ingesting spoons for the past one year,” said Dr Khurana.

 

Sensing the seriousness of the case, the patient was asked to undergo surgery at the earliest.

 

Dr Khurana and his team conducted the surgery on Vijay on September 25. In the 2 hours long surgery, they extricated 62 steel spoons from the patient’s stomach and another one from his intestine. Interestingly, all the spoons had their heads missing.

 

“The patient is a resident of Bopara village under Mansurpur area of Muzaffarnagar police station. He is addicted to alcohol and was admitted to a de-addiction centre six months ago, and has been ingesting the spoons,” said Dr Khurana.

 

He further added that the patient is still in a critical stage and is kept at the hospital’s ICU.
