A woman, Sheeba Pramod endured three months of unrelenting pain after an emergency appendectomy at CSI Mission Hospital in the area of Thiruvananthapuram, on December 3, 2025, left her surgical wound refusing to heal.
Discharged nine days later, the woman battled unbearable agony and severe mental distress until scans at another private hospital revealed the horrifying truth that a blood-stained surgical cloth had been left stitched inside her, causing a perforation and infection.
Distressing video footage later surfaced, showing the extraction during a corrective procedure.
Sheeba sought relief at CSI Mission Hospital again, where doctors removed the foreign object in a second surgery.
Senior hospital staff claimed they were unaware how the cloth entered her body and suggested it might have been forgotten during visits to other facilities for pain management.
Refusing to accept the explanation, Sheeba and her family escalated the issue.
They lodged a formal complaint with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's office and Kazhakkoottam police, demanding a high-level inquiry into the alleged negligence according to Times of India.
The police has registered a case against the hospital following the allegations.
