**Hyderabad, April 5, 2025** – Doctors at the District Hospital in King Koti, Hyderabad, successfully removed a five-inch needle from the stomach of a 3-month-long abdominal pain sufferer. The patient, Murali, a transport vehicle driver from Nallakunta, reported persistent, sharp internal pain.
After a week of tests revealing a foreign object, a surgical team led by Drs. Venkatesh, Balraj, and Srimanth performed a complex procedure. The doctors cited avoiding internal bleeding as the biggest challenge during the removal of the needle, typically used for sewing gunny bags.
Murali is recovering well and remains under observation at the hospital.
