A man recovering from a stomach operation had to be rushed back into hospital after his innards “fell out” when his wound burst. George Sternat, of Cairns, Australia, had just had surgical staples removed from his abdomen. Cancer patient Mr Sternat was relaxing in his garden when he screamed out in pain, the AFP news agency reported. His partner Cheryl Orme said he shouted: “Get the ambulance, my stomach fell out.” Mr Sternats had undergone the operation earlier this month to remove cancerous tumours from his abdomen. The wound was closed with medical staples. Doctors removed the staples on Wednesday morning and Mr Sternats returned home.
