A cancer survivor is planning to sue a hospital after its surgeons wrongly connected her colon to her vagina prompting her to regularly break wind.

Jasminka Velkovska was undergoing cancer treatment at the September 8th hospital in the Macedonian capital Skopje three years ago.

The hospital had agreed to pay Velkovska £25,700 in compensation following the badly botched surgery.

However, the hospital has refused to pay the entire total, forcing Velkovska to appear on national television where she explained her embarrassing condition.

The hospital operated on Velkovska to remove a carcinoma from her colon. Unfortunately, the surgeons missed the bad cells and reattached the colon to the wrong part of her anatomy.

She told local TV: ‘While I was recovering, doctors came and asked me if I was passing gas, and I said yes, but it’s coming out of my vagina.

‘They told me that it would soon pass and I would be ok, but stuff had started to come out of my vagina and I was feeling scared and it was all very unpleasant.’

Staff at the September 8th Hospital took her for an X-ray scan, which showed that her colon and her vagina were indeed tied together – and worse, her carcinoma was still there.

Velkovska needed to have surgery again to remove the growth but she opted for it to take place in another hospital.

Her lawyers and hospital management then reached an agreement outside of court, whereby she would be handed a sum of £25,700 in compensation for her ordeal.

But Velkovska said the money has still not been paid in full and that there are still £8,600 that have not been paid.

Hospital Manager Sasho Stojcev claimed that the hospital cannot pay the damage without a court order, adding that the compensation was only partly covered by their insurance company.

The remaining £8,600 Stojcev says, does not have to be paid off by the hospital. This is reportedly because the compensation was not fully covered by the insurance company and the document allegedly does not state who exactly should pay it.

Velkovska is reportedly unhappy with the hospital’s excuses and said that if they do not pay up soon, she and her family plan to sue the hospital.
