This image is an intraoperative picutre of a large solid body being extracted from the small intestine.

The intestine is the nice pink structure running across the picture. The appearance of the intestine is small bowel.

The spheroidal green/brown solid body is peeking out of an incision that has been made on the ante-mesenteric border of the intestine.

The instrument holding the intesine to the right of the picture is a Babcock forceps.
