My stomach was bursting from the inside: a man unsuccessfully ate pickled cucumbers

      A terrible case was reported in one of the hospitals in Vladivostok. A man with terrible abdominal pain had to be operated on urgently — doctors found peritonitis in the patient (inflammation of the abdominal cavity — editor's note).

      It turned out that surgeons found a piece of plastic in the small intestine of the Primorye resident, the size of which reached 1.5 by 2.5 centimeters. The foreign body entered the gastrointestinal tract, bypassing a huge route - the esophagus, duodenum and most of the small intestine, where the "forced stop" occurred, the portal reports. vostokmedia.com .

      According to the doctors, the sharp edges of the plastic fragment perforated the intestinal wall on both sides, which caused dangerous inflammation of the peritoneum.
