After the surgery, the man recovered well and was discharged from the hospital. No word on what happened to the eel…

The eel is a lurking aquatic animal that is accustomed to living in environments with a silt bottom, such as paddy fields, lakes, ponds, streams, and canals. It is known to dig holes in relatively soft soil, so it can easily pierce through a human intestine.

Although the medical experts involved in this case did not discuss how the eel got into the man’s colon, it wasn’t too difficult for people to deduce…

“Everyone knows how he got in”, one person commented.

“He sat on it accidentally,” someone else wrote.
