He was at a diner when he noticed a “wet” sensation followed by a sharp pain.
He only noticed something was wrong after he lifted his shirt and saw several inches of his bowel hanging out of his stomach.
The man, from Florida, recently underwent abdominal surgery but doctors claimed his incision had healed well.
Paramedics quickly arrived on the scene and witnessed a three-inch opening with “large amounts of bowel” protruding through it.
Fortunately, he was rushed to the hospital, where surgeons successfully returned his bowel to his abdomen.
After spending six days in the ward, the man was sent home and experienced no further complications.
His case was detailed in the American Journal of Medical Case Reports.
