Six Coins Removed From Patient’s Stomach
Doctors in the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk found six coins—denominations of one, two and five rubles—in the stomach of a 68-year-old man who had been referred for an endoscopy after anemia was suspected. He said he had swallowed them about two years earlier. Dr. Alexander Komarov removed the coins using an endoscope and forceps in just ten minutes. He also found an ulcer in the stomach wall and warned that leaving the coins there could have led to a perforation. The man is now under observation and receiving treatment, and will have a follow-up endoscopy to confirm that his stomach has healed.
