Kushinagar, Oct 3: Jamaluddin, a resident of Padrauna in UP's Kushinagar, is considered an anatomical marvel for having all visceral organs on the wrong side of his body. His case came to light after he complained of stomachache. The events which followed shocked the doctors.

After an x-ray to understand the cause of his stomachache, doctors found out that there were stones in his gallbladder. However, that was not what amazed them- They were shocked to find his heart on the right side and his liver and gallbladder on the left.

Dr Shashikant Dixit, who is a bariatric laparoscopic surgeon, said, "We found stones in his gall bladder, but it is extremely difficult to take out the stones if the gall bladder is located on the left side. We had to take the help of three-dimensional laparoscopic machines to perform the surgery."

The surgery is a success and Jamaluddin is recovering well. Dr Dixit recalled that such a rare case first came to light back in 1643. The challenges faced are most often when there is surgery involved.
