Doctors used a lasso to pull out a 23-inch dildo from an Italian man’s butt.
According to a published British Medical Journal Case report, an unnamed man appeared at an Italian hospital with a 23-inch dildo stuck inside of him. After trying to get the dildo out of himself for 24 hours, the man decided to seek professional help at ASST Great Metropolitan Hospital in Niguarda, Italy.
When he got there, he only shared that he had mild abdominal paid. Of course, the truth came out quickly after X-rays were taken.
But then came the problem of trying to get the dildo out of the man.
“Medics in Milan were unable to get the rubber dildo out using standard methods, complaining it was too big and smooth,” wrote The Daily Mail.
Because of this, the doctors decided they needed to build a new device for this specific task. And that device was… a lasso.
“We finally succeeded in the endoscopic extraction of the device, catching the distal edge of the dildo with this guidewire lasso.”
“This device showed a technical advantage as compared with ordinary polypectomy snares, due to its much higher stiffness.”
The report added:
"Our new ‘handmade’ device proved to be harder than an ordinary snare used for polypectomy [a procedure normally used to remove polyps] and allowed us to grab the foreign body," Dr Lorenzo Dioscoridi wrote in the BMJ case report.
"The choice of a relatively large diameter of the catheter (2.8mm) allowed us to avoid an excessive kinking of the loop inside the catheter that could limit a correct opening of this snare-like device.”
"In our opinion, this new technique is easy and reproducible in most endoscopy rooms, and we suggest it as a valid option to remove large foreign bodies from the colon and rectum when standard endoscopic devices fail in foreign body extraction."
As for the patient, he walked away from the hospital on the very same day as the procedure. He later wrote a note of thanks to the doctors for getting him out of that situation (and getting it out of him).
This is yet another story of someone shoving something random up their backside. The other most recent case being when a man high on GHB shoved 15 eggs up his butt.
