Operations at a Nottinghamshire hospital were cancelled after a rat was found in an operating theatre.
A spokeswoman from King's Mill Hospital, in Mansfield, said the rodent had entered the theatre at night last week when the room was not in use.
Pest controllers were called into the hospital and as a result, several operations had to be cancelled.
Hospital bosses have apologised for the "inconvenience" to patients and said the theatre was now fully operational.
'Eradicate the problem'Karen Tomlinson, director of operations at the hospital, said she was shocked to learn evidence of a rodent had been found in an operating theatre.
She said: "As soon as we became aware of this fact the following morning, we immediately took steps to thoroughly clean the area and called in external pest control experts to eradicate the problem.
"Whilst this work was under way, it was therefore necessary to postpone a small number of operations and we have apologised to any patients affected for the inconvenience caused."
Rats can spread salmonella and carry the potentially fatal Weil's disease.
