During the examinations made to Kemal Doğru, father of 2, who was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain and jaundice, many stones were detected in his gallbladder. 64-year-old Kemal Doğru was taken to closed surgery, which lasted 1.5 hours. During the closed surgery, it was noticed that the gallbladder had reached 3 times its size. The fact that there were too many stones in the gallbladder surprised the doctors. In the count made by the nurse, 14,387 stones in the size of a pinhead were detected in the gallbladder. Learning that the previous world record was 8 thousand 422 in an operation performed in Malatya, General Surgery Specialist Opr. Dr. Vahit Mutlu started a study to apply for Guinness.
14 thousand 387 stones that came out will be counted again before a notary public
Mutlu expressed his astonishment by stating that it was the first time he had encountered such a case. Noting that there may be many stones in the gallbladder due to its 3 times the size of the gallbladder, and that these estimates did not mislead them, Mutlu said, “We thought it might be a world record because there were too many stones in the gallbladder. We learned that the world record was 8,422 in a patient in Malatya. That’s why we decided to count the stones. As a result of the counts, it turned out that there were 14 thousand 387 stones. We will apply for Guinness by counting in the presence of a notary public. Noting that they encountered a large number of gallstones in millimeters, but 14,387 stones were extremely rare, Mutlu said, “Thanks to one of our nurses, a day was spared for this. He counted several times. Gallstones are cholesterol pigment. After washing and drying, they were counted one by one so that there would be no counting errors.
I DID NOT EXPECT THAT SO MUCH STONES TO COME OUT
Kemal Doğru, who was discharged from the hospital, expressed his surprise at home. Stating that he did not expect that many stones to come out, Doğru said, “I don’t drink every water. I was also surprised that so many stones were formed. He’s making my own body, I wasn’t expecting it from birth, that’s all,” he said.
