Dr Nandkishore Jatav, who performed surgery on the patient, said: ‘An abdominal discomfort patient came to us after he first went to the Mission Hospital, where the physician declined to treat him. He then visited the district hospital.

‘After a comprehensive examination, it was discovered that the patient had a very high blood sugar level (544 mg/dl). In this case, the procedure was completed once the sugar was under control after providing him medication.

‘Additionally, the large intestine burst, but it was mended, and for the time being, the anus has formed through the stomach.
