A shocking incident was reported from Rajasthan’s Kota city. More than 6000 stones were found in the stomach of a 70-year-old man. Their size ranged from mustard seeds to moong dal and chana dal. It took the hospital staff more than two and a half hours to count them.

Doctors of a private hospital in Rajasthan’s Kota have successfully removed at least 6,110 gallstones from a 70-year-old farmer from Bundi district.

The farmer from Bundi district had a history of stomach pain, vomiting and other complications for several years but had not found any relief. Last week, he went to a private hospital in Kota. The sonography revealed that the gallbladder was filled with stones and the size of the gallbladder had almost doubled from 7 x 2 cm to 12 x 4 cm.

The doctors performed the surgery and successfully removed at least 6,110 gallstones.

The operation was done on Friday, and the patient was discharged the next day.

As per reports, the operation took just 30 minutes, but it took the hospital staff at least two and a half hours to count the stones.

"It was a critical case, as the stones in the gallbladder can cause serious harm to the patient. He could have suffered from inflammation in the pancreas, jaundice, and even cancer," Dr Dinesh Jindal, who operated on him, said.
