Pair of forceps removed from woman's abdomen

Cases of medical negligence during operating on a person had earlier been reported but this is an unusual case in which a pair of forceps from the abdomen of a young woman were removed that were left carelessly by doctors who operated on her four years ago.

Incident happened in Jenapur village in the district of Cuttack some 40 km from the state capital Bhubaneswar in Orrisa state of India where Binapani Khatua, aged 25 was operated again on Saturday to remove a pair of forceps or surgical pincers from her abdomen. She was suffering from pain in the abdomen since the day she was delivered, by a Caesarean section, of her first child four years ago.

During operation at the sub-divisional government hospital at Athagarh in her home district the doctors had left the forceps in her abdomen, as per the woman.

"My wife had suffered intense pain because of the doctors' negligence. The government should punish such negligent doctors," Kathua's husband said.
