It is rare for a fish bone to get stuck and for the foreign object to travel down to the appendix.

On November 26, Mr. Nguyen Van Del, Director of Tan Hung District Medical Center (Long An province) said that he had just successfully operated on a patient with acute appendicitis due to a fish bone stuck in his throat.
The patient is Mr. Ho Van Chinh (43 years old, residing in Vinh Buu commune, Tan Hung district).
Previously, on November 24, Mr. Chinh was hospitalized with a high fever and severe abdominal pain. Through a CT scan, doctors discovered an abscess and a fish bone in the patient's right lower abdomen.
The patient then underwent surgery to remove a 2.5cm long fish bone.

Patient Ho Van Chinh's health is now stable. |
According to Dr. Del, this is a rare case, because often when a fish bone is swallowed, it will puncture the stomach when it goes down to the stomach; cases where the fish bone goes down to the appendix are rare.
