Live eel surgery in Hunan hospital: Emergency doctors uncovered a 12-inch eel swimming among a Chinese man’s organs after extreme abdominal pain, with a CT scan revealing the aquatic invader. Top searches include 'Can an eel survive in the body?' and 'What happens if an eel enters the colon?' The eel had punctured the sigmoid colon, requiring laparoscopic surgery and a clamp-like rescue. “Everyone knows how he got in,” one onlooker quipped, as surgeons irrigated the abdomen and stitched the breach.

After the CT scan’s eel-shaped surprise, doctors discovered the eel had bored through the intestinal wall and was still swimming in the abdominal cavity. Searches spike for 'live eel removal surgery' and 'foreign object in abdomen treatment.' The rescue operation involved saline flushing and a deft clamp-wielding surgeon. The patient was discharged swiftly, while the eel’s post-op plans remain a mystery—one commenter mused, “He sat on it accidentally,” as the hospital staff pondered the eel’s unlikely journey from pond to peritoneum.

Medical records confirm the patient’s abdomen was “as hard as a board” before surgery revealed a fully alert eel navigating his internal seas, out-swimming peritonitis for nearly 24 hours.
