In a unique medical incident, doctors at Mansoura University's specialized internal hospital discovered a surprising revelation inside the stomach of a patient who had been suffering from continuous pain and severe weight loss.
After conducting tests, it was revealed that the cause of his suffering was not just a digestive disorder, but a mobile phone that had been in his stomach for a full 6 years!
The patient, whose name was not disclosed, had tried repeatedly to remove the phone himself, but all his attempts failed. Finally, he turned to the doctors who decided to surgically intervene to end his suffering.
The operation took 45 minutes, during which the medical team successfully extracted the phone amidst everyone's astonishment.
Dr. Asmaa Jameel, a lecturer in the digestive system and endoscopy at Mansoura University and a member of the medical team that performed the surgery, revealed that the patient had lost nearly 30 kilograms of weight due to severe inflammations in his stomach caused by the presence of the phone all these years.
But the biggest surprise was that the phone's battery did not explode inside his stomach during this period, which is a rare occurrence!
After the successful operation, the patient's condition stabilized, and he is currently undergoing comprehensive medical care to ensure his full recovery.
The lingering questions remain: How did the phone end up in his stomach? And why did he wait all these years before seeking medical intervention?
The secrets of this story remain hidden, but one thing is certain, this incident will remain one of the strangest medical cases witnessed in Egypt.
