Doctors document painstaking surgery to remove glass from man’s bowel

Doctors successfully removed a large glass jar from a man’s bowel following eye-watering surgery that carries an extremely high risk of death.

The man, who inserted the pint-sized glass into his back passage during a bizarre sexcapade, could have bled to death or suffered fatal organ damage if the glass shattered inside him.

Yet, doctors were able to remove the vessel in full, not allowing any glass to shatter into pointy shards.

Speaking of the case, representatives from the hospital that treated the patient, in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, said doctors must not judge patients for their unconvention sexual proclivities.

‘Remember that doctors are not the morality police,’ hospital spokesperson Alexey Nikonov said.

The case, reported in The Sun, featured X-ray images showing the glass jar was high inside the man’s back passage, slowly moving towards the upper bowel.

Doctors managed to retrieve the glass jar as well as a condom and lubricant from his rectum.

Mr Nikonov added that despite Russia having strict anti-LGBT laws, locals should not hesitate seek help from medics if they fin themselves in a similar situation.
