Teenager Has Stomach Removed to Save Her Life After Drinking Trendy Liquid Nitrogen Cocktail

Gaby Scanlon (pictured left) was celebrating her 18th birthday at a Oscar's bar (far right inset) in Lancaster when she had the drink and began to feel breathless.

She developed severe stomach pain and was taken to hospital where she was diagnosed with a perforated stomach.

Doctors performed emergency surgery to remove her stomach and save her life. Miss Scanlon, from Heysham, Lancashire, is in a serious but stable condition, police said. Liquid nitrogen oxide can be added to a cocktail (pictured) to chill and create a signature smoke effect.
