Vets have successfully performed microsurgery on a tiny seahorse that had its internal organs growing outside its body. The seahorse, a young male of the subspecies pot-bellied seahorse (Hippocampus Abdominalis), was successfully operated on by specialists at the Aquarium Finisterrae in the city of A Coruna in the north-western Spanish region of Galicia. The initial operation took place back in June, but the patient only just recently went through a second round of surgery to have the stiches removed. After declaring the seahorse fully recovered from the ordeal, the acquarium released footage of the highly unusual surgery this week.
