Doctors in China perform surgery to remove fish from man’s rectum after he accidentally sat on it

According to news reports from China, a blue tilapia fish was removed from a 30-year-old man’s rectum after it entered his bowels when he “accidentally sat on it”.

In a bizarre incident, a team of doctors in China removed a fish from inside a man’s rectum after he “accidentally sat on it”.

The man believed to be in his early 30s sought medical attention at the Zhaoqing First People’s Hospital in Guangdong province of southern China after he started experiencing abdominal pains.

 
According to his CT scans and x-ray reports, it was found out that he had a dead blue tilapia inside his rectum.

Medical experts tried to remove the fish through an emergency endoscopy, the fish was found to be too big.  It was later removed through surgery. It is unclear how big the fish was but blue tilapias usually measure 30 to 40 centimeters long.
