CHUNIA: A shocking incident has come to light in Chunia, where a surgeon discovered a towel left inside a female patient’s abdomen during a routine operation. The incident occurred on Tuesday at a local hospital, raising serious concerns about surgical protocols and patient safety.

According to hospital sources, the patient underwent surgery for an unrelated issue, but post-operative complications led to the discovery of the foreign object. Medical professionals have expressed outrage, emphasizing the need for stringent adherence to surgical checklists to prevent such occurrences. “This is a grave oversight that could have had severe consequences for the patient,” stated Dr. Ali Khan, a senior surgeon.
