Kolkata, India (BBN)-Doctors have removed a staggering 360 gallstones from a woman in India.
Mousumi Dam, 49, from Kolkata, West Bengal, had been suffering from chronic abdominal pain and acid reflux for months, reports The Daily Mail.
But last month she got jaundice and finally consulted a doctor.
Tests and an ultrasound found she was suffering from a severe case of gallstones.
Doctors were amazed to see such a huge cluster of tiny marble-sized stones in her gallbladder.
She was immediately referred to the Institute of Post Graduation Medical Education and Research Institute, in Kolkata, where doctors removed 360 stones during an hour-long operation.
Dr Makhan Lal Saha, 59, professor of surgery at the hospital, said he'd never seen so many stones in a patient before.
