Doctors Had To Invent A New Tool When A 23-Inch Dildo Got Stuck In A Man’s Rectum
BMJ Case ReportsDoctors in Milan needed to get creative in order to remove this 23-inch dildo from an unidentified 31-year-old man’s rectum.
In a fantastic display of “necessity is the mother of invention,” Doctors in Italy were forced to create a new medical device in order to remove a stubborn 23-inch dildo from a man’s rectum.
The unidentified 31-year-old man arrived at the emergency room at the AAST Grand Hospital in Milan after he was unable to remove the sex toy himself for the last 24 hours. The man said that the toy had become inaccessible by hand and so required medical attention.
Other than minor abdominal pain the man reported no other discomfort, despite there being a nearly two-foot-long, rigid plastic dildo lodged in his rectum for over a day.
An X-ray of the massive obstruction ultimately referred the man to the endoscopy unit of the hospital.
BMJ Case ReportsAn X-ray of the man shows the 23-inch dildo that was lodged up his rectum, unable to be removed by hand.
Endoscopist Dr. Lorenzo Dioscoridi and his team applied all of the mainstream methods doctors normally use in cases of extraction. Unfortunately, as the medical staff explained, “We failed to remove the FB (foreign body) using several different standard techniques because of the rigidity, the smoothness and the size of the object.”
Dr. Dioscoridi and his staff were forced to get creative.
Their “home-made” device consisted of a double-wrapped wire inserted into a catheter, which doctors explain they fashioned “in order to create a noose”. In essence, they had made a lasso.
This new technique was published in BMJ Case Reports as a case study titled, “New endoscopic technique for retrieval of large colonic foreign bodies and an endoscopy-oriented review of the literature.” The weird news will be shared with doctors worldwide, should they encounter a similar situation.
“We suggest this new technique as a valid option to remove large FBs from the colon and rectum when standard endoscopic methods for FB’s extraction fail,” the doctors state in the report.
