MP doctors left scissors inside patient's abdomen during surgery, Discovered 2 years later
Bhopal: A shocking case of alleged medical negligence has come to light in Bhind district, where a 44-year-old woman endured two years of severe abdominal pain only to find out that a pair of surgical scissors had been left inside her stomach in 2022.
Despite undergoing numerous tests, the woman found no relief or explanation for the excruciating abdominal pain she had been experiencing since her surgery in 2022 at Kamala Raja Hospital in Gwalior. However, a recent CT scan at Bhind District Hospital revealed a shocking incident. A metal object was found lodged in the left paracolic gutter, a part of the digestive tract which turned out to be a pair of surgical scissors.
The woman, a resident of Saundha Gohad underwent surgery on February 20, 2022, at Kamala Raja Hospital in Gwalior to remove a cancerous lump. What was meant to be a life-saving procedure turned into a prolonged nightmare as she began experiencing debilitating pain, bloating, and digestive issues for the past two years.
