Chinese doctor removes 100 fish bones from man's rectum

In an unusual medical case, Chinese doctors have removed more than 100 fish bones from a man's rectum after he feasted on fish.
The sexagenarian from Sichuan Province a week earlier had eaten two servings of boiled carp - bones and all, thinking he would pass them.
However, he ended up seeking medical attention after complaining of acute pain while defecating, state-run Global Times reported.
A CT scan showed tight clusters of fish bones stuck in his rectum. In the two-hour procedure, doctors worked to pull around 100 of the needle-like bones from the man's anus.
"A patient with this many fish bones was a first for us," Huang Zhiyin, a doctor from West China Hospital of Sichuan University said. "The most we've had to remove was around 10 or so."

Huang explained it was a tricky procedure with a high risk of blood loss.
