A 30-year-old woman has filed a complaint against doctors for having left forceps inside her body while performing a caesarean on her five years ago.
Acting on her compliant, Kerala State Health Minister Veena George on Saturday ordered a probe into the incident and asked the Health Secretary to submit a report soon.
The doctors of Kozhikode Medical College had, on September 17, conducted a major surgery on Harshinia, a Kozhikode resident, to remove a 'mosquito artery forceps' which was in her stomach for the past five years.
The forceps is a scissor-like equipment used by surgeons to clamp bleeding vessels during surgeries.
