Doctors have removed 148 gallstones the size of sweetcorn from inside a woman.

Huma Bai, who is thought to be between 40 and 50 years old, suffered crippling abdominal pain for more than a year.

Last week Ms Bai was admitted to Jeevan Jyoti Hospital in Madhya Pradesh, India, where doctors found the cluster of stones in her gallbladder.

In surgery lasting one-and-a-half hours, a team of doctors individually removed each stone.

Ms Bai is thought to have developed the gallstones as the result of a greasy diet. 

It is unclear how serious her condition was, however, gallstones can cause severe discomfort if they block one of the bile ducts.
