The surgical gastroenterologists had to remove a section of Prabhakar Reddy's small intestine during the procedure since the knife injuries in his lower belly were at least four inches deep. As per the hospital, Prabhakar Reddy will be under observation in the ICU for next three to four days. 

According to hospital doctors, Prabhakar Reddy's small intestine suffered extensive knife incisions in four distinct spots, making it impossible to recover organ pieces.

Speaking with media, Surgical Gastroenterologist Dr. TLVD Prasad Babu stated: "Kotha Prabhakar Reddy is stable but his condition is still critical. For the next 3-4 days he will be under observation in a critical care unit. He just got his operation done and came out of the operation theatre. There was a stab injury which penetrated deep into the abdomen. There were four holes in the small intestine and the intestine juices came out of the small intestine and it was causing peritonitis. We have removed that segment of the small intestine and made an anastomosis. We have closed the abdomen and he is recovering in the ICU now. His condition will be observed for the coming 3-4 days, after that only we can tell about his health condition. If everything goes right, we are expecting a hospital stay of 8-10 days."
