Tamil Nadu doctors remove half kg hair, shampoo sachets from minor girl's stomach

In a rare occurrence, doctors at a Tamil Nadu hospital have removed sachets of shampoo and hair from the body of a 13-year-old girl. The surgery, at a Coimbatore hospital, was performed after the girl was admitted with complaints of frequent stomach aches for the past few months. A scan later revealed a ball-like object (half kg hair) in the stomach and doctors decided to remove it by endoscopy, hospital chairman V G Mohanprasad said.
