Belagavi Hospital surgeon under scrutiny for removing intestine instead of tumour
In a shocking case of alleged medical negligence, surgeons at the Belagavi Institute of Medical Sciences (BIMS) reportedly performed surgery on a man admitted for a stomach tumour, but allegedly cut a portion of his intestine instead.
After the surgery, the patient was stitched up and discharged, but his abdominal pain continued. Concerned, his family took him to KLE Hospital in Belagavi, where a medical scan revealed that part of his intestine had been cut during the previous surgery at BIMS.
This revelation shocked the family, who believed their on had been admitted to BIMS for a tumour removal surgery. The alleged botched procedure not only worsened his suffering but also left him with long-term health complications.
