An 18-year-old boy was found to be carrying three-inch-long nails, sewing machine needles and a screwdriver in his stomach in northern India's Uttar Pradesh on October 2.

The operation to extract these items was carried out in Chandrakusum Hospital along Lucknow-Kanpur highway.

The video shows the extracted sharp metal objects from the patient's abdominal area.

Karan, a resident of the Bhatwa village in Unnao, complained of severe stomach pain and was brought to the hospital on the same day of the surgery.

After a scan, doctors detected foreign bodies in his stomach. 

Dr Pawan Singh with Dr Radha Raman Awasthi, Dr. Ashish Puri, Dr Santosh Verma, Sarvesh and Sanoj performed a two-and-a-half-hour-long surgery to extract the tools. 

30 three-inch iron nails, a rough-edged tool, a four-inch-long iron rod, four sewing machine needle threaders and a screwdriver were found in his stomach.

The patient’s father, Kamlesh, told doctors that Karan was mentally disturbed and they did not know how and when he swallowed so many tools.

Dr Radha Raman Awasthi, senior doctor at the hospital in the Shuklaganj of Unnao, said that the operation was successful.
