"Come, lie down on the table! The prone position is easier for the procedure!"
Zhou Can guided the middle-aged man to lie down properly on the operating table.
The object was conical in shape.
How such a thing could enter an adult's rectum was indeed puzzling.
Moreover, judging from the X-rays, the diameter of this object was quite large. It's almost impossible to have ingested it. Putting aside other factors, its sheer size wouldn't fit through the narrow esophagus and small intestine.
So, it definitely had to be inserted.
"Doctor...do I need anesthesia for this?"
"If we need to perform surgery to remove a foreign object from the rectum, anesthesia is absolutely necessary. We often use spinal anesthesia, commonly known as subarachnoid block, also referred to as half-body anesthesia. This surgery is going to be quite difficult; we will need to open the abdomen, then cut open the intestine to remove the object."
Zhou Can patiently explained to the patient.
