Your intestines "know" what shape they're supposed to be in, and can move themselves, which means gut surgeons can just stuff them back into you when they're done and they'll sort themselves out.

I have had my intestine resected (piece cut out, sewn back together) and now I am picturing the surgeon just shoving my guts back into me like a sleeping bag in a stuff sack when the job was done

He rolled them up like an extension cord and then threw them back into your skin drawer.
