63-year-old man's colon falls out after sneezing and coughing at the same time. Here's what happened

Hindustan Times  

A 63-year-old man found himself in a horrific situation when he sat down at his dinner table and sneezed and coughed at the same time. The man was kept in the hospital for six days and recovered without any complications. In addition to performing internal and exterior stitches, as well as stitches that penetrate many layers of the abdominal wall, surgeons used figure-of-eight stitches, one of the most advanced and strong types of closures, to ensure the wound did not reopen. According to the American Journal of Medical Case Reports, "Wound dehiscence is a known post-operative complication; bowel evisceration through the abdominal wall after cystectomy has rarely been reported."
