Raja Babu, 32, of Uttar Pradesh, India, suffered unexplained abdominal pain last year, according to local media such as the Times of India.
Several visits to local medical institutions have been made, but doctors have not been able to determine the cause of abdominal pain.
After four months of medication were useless, he watched videos on YouTube and studied treatment courses such as surgery to relieve abdominal pain.
Determined to operate on his own, he bought drugs, anesthesia injections, knives and suturing materials. In fact, he was a business administration major who had never had a medical education.
On the 19th (local time), he sat alone in a room and began 'self-operation'. The abdomen was incised about 18 cm.
But he did nothing and sewed 11 needles. When the anesthesia was lifted, he complained of unbearable pain.
The terrified family rushed him to the hospital, and the medical staff were surprised to see the wound he had made.
Medical staff at local hospitals provided first aid due to the high possibility of infection and the high risk of developing internal complications, but refused to be hospitalized. Instead, he was rushed to a medical school hospital in the city.
The cause of the unknown abdominal pain was attributed to Raja Babu's appendicitis (acute appendicitis) surgery 15 years ago.
It was estimated that an internal infection occurred due to side effects after surgery.
The extent of the side effects is unknown, but he is said to be recovering from treatment.
The medical staff said "You cannot learn surgical procedures by watching online videos"Self-operation can lead to infection, excessive bleeding, permanent damage, or even death, so it should never be followed"
