BANDUNG: A medical team at Cimahi Hospital removed 500 grams of roundworms from the abdomen of an 11-year-old patient.
The operation was carried out in late March, but was only revealed to the media on Wednesday.
"The patient was admitted here on March 21 and was operated on March 27," Sonya Henny Rangkuti, a service official, said.
She said the patient had complained about being unable to defecate for five days but she would not elaborate further on the disease, saying the official medical report would be released Thursday.
