Medicine Patient had surgical scissors in his stomach for 18 years
A few days ago, a 15-centimeter long surgeon's scissors was removed from the belly of a 54-year-old in Vietnam. The surgical instruments had apparently been forgotten in the man's body 18 years ago. Only recently, the patient had gone to the doctor because of abdominal pain, which is why the foreign body was ever discovered.
Surgeon set was 18 years in the belly of a man
In Vietnam, a 15-centimeter surgeon's scissors were removed from the abdomen a few days ago in a three-hour operation. The surgical cutlery had apparently been forgotten about 18 years ago in the belly of the Vietnamese. It was recently discovered during an ultrasound scan that was performed because the man complained of abdominal pain.

According to a report from the "Vietnam Express," Ma Van Nhat said the scissors were probably forgotten during an emergency operation in 1998 at Bac Kan Hospital following a traffic accident in his belly.
According to media reports, he had "lived a fairly normal life" until he recently had a stomach ache. For the operation in the hospital in Thai Nguyen in the north of Viet Nam, doctors of Viet Duc Hospital arrived in Hanoi. "He is recovering well" after the procedure, the doctors explained.
Earlier doctors are to be located
Trinh Thi Luong, today's director of Bac Kan Hospital, said, "We're trying to track down all members of the surgical team back then: even though they're retired, we'll let them know about the incident inform who fell into her service. I hope this can be a lesson for all doctors, especially surgeons. "
Treatment error not only in Vietnam
Although it is said that reports of Doctors' Path in Vietnam are more common, but also in other countries, treatment errors are not uncommon.
For example, there were reports of doctors in Mexico who were removing the wrong eye from a child or Austrian doctors who had amputated the wrong leg of a 91-year-old female patient.
It was also a bizarre message about an operation of a Jordanian, in which a doctor forgot his cell phone in the patient's stomach.
And in Germany doctors make mistakes. According to the Action Alliance for Patient Safety (APS) estimates are estimated that there are between 600 and 700 deaths every year in Germany because of forgotten swabs, needles and Co. (Ad)
