During the operation, a surgeon pulled out the eel-like fish known to grow up to a length of 125cm, which had apparently burrowed into the man's body.
Miraculously, the fish was still very much alive when it was removed – and can be seen wriggling around.
The creature later had to be euthanised, according to the Brazilian news website, esmeraldanoticias.com.

The video of him and the fish, known locally as a piramboia, has become a viral sensation after it was posted on the website Live Leak.
