Doctors Remove 23-cm True Human Tail in Rare Surgery

Doctors in Kolkata successfully removed a 23-cm true human tail from a 13-year-old boy.

This is the longest true human tail ever removed and the 41st documented case worldwide.

The boy had the tail since birth, and it caused him discomfort and bullying.

The surgery was careful to ensure no connection to the spinal cord.

The doctors hope this case will encourage others to seek medical help for similar conditions.

Some people might choose not to remove such growths due to cultural or religious beliefs.
