  • one hell of a surgery..great work!! but where was the thing exited??

  • @jl92010 it's hair. The patient had trichophagia, meaning (s)he ate hir hair (and most likely trichotillomania - which is classified as an impulse control disorder by DSM-IV, the compulsive urge to pull out one's own hair). Hair is undigestable, so it forms a ball in the stomach, or a bezoar that eventually needs surgical removal. This is called a trichobezoar.

  • OMG... what is that? Spinach?
