Did you know that during operation, they sometimes move your intestines out of the way? Like they pick them up and put them on special hooks, while the intestines wiggle around. Also when the doctors are done, they just put them back in randomly. Because the intestines can sort themselves back into place naturally. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...

Okay, so lemme tell you a story my father told me.  Back when my dad was in college, he (as he likes to say in a humorous fashion) was roommates with professional ex-killers: Vietnam Veterans.  He learned a lot from them and one fellow, who worked as a medic, had a very interesting story about intestines.

A soldier comes in to the hospital having been hit with some shrapnel from a grenade.  The doctors perform surgery to repair the damage, but because the wound was lower on the torso, they have to make sure no little bits of shrapnel had perforated any of the small intestine.  Being as the small intestine is about 20 feet long in an adult, it’s a lot to search for a potentially very lethal small hole.  So the surgeons call in everyone trained nearby and basically unpack the intestines, and everyone took a section and looked it over very minutely for damage.  Once it was determined everything was intact, the whole mass of intestines was sort of mounded up in the body cavity.

Then they just squirmed and wiggled into place, like @ninja—sushi said.  Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle…
