According to Dailymail, doctors have just completed an operation longer than 1 hour to remove the 17.78 cm long tail on a young Indian male.

The 18-year-old male, living in Nagpur, India, was hospitalized with a tail on his back that was growing and causing pain.

The tail is 17.78cm long by 18-year-old Indian male.

After checking the doctors thought that the tail is a vestige in the development process in the fetus. Usually after the 6th week of pregnancy, any child will form a tail but it will turn itself over time. Still having a tail when born is a mistake in the process of forming the spine in the fetus.

However, the case of this young man is special. The tail still exists and continues to grow until now.

Since birth, young men have a strange tail. He himself and his family suffered many things when many curious people spoke ill, considered him anomalous, even alienated.

The image of the patient's x-ray film clearly shows the long tail.

But the family still considered it a natural thing and almost ignored the strange tail. It wasn't until the tail grew longer, causing pain and affecting life that the patient came to the doctor to find a solution.

Dr. Pramod Giri, one of the 6 people who directly operated on the patients, said: "The patient only came to the hospital when the tail hurt, especially when sitting and sleeping. This is a rare special case. I and Ekip have never met any patients like this. "

The tail has been removed from the male body.

According to doctors, the tail does not cause any serious health problems for patients, but it will cause long-term effects on the spine and intestinal function as well as causing pain.

The surgery is not too difficult and dangerous because there is no bone in the tail but care is needed because there are parts of the spinal cord.
