Doctors have removed a steel cup from a man’s rectum ten days after his friends put it there as a drunken prank.
The 45-year-old from Balipadar, India, had the considerably large object removed through surgery at a local hospital.
The incident, which took place on August 19, apparently happened while the unfortunate man was drinking with his friends in Surat in Gujarat, an Indian state that bans alcohol.
The victim’s friends reportedly said they inserted the sizable object into his rectum as part of a “prank” while he was in a “drunken state.”
The cup is approximately 8 cm (3-4 inches) in diameter and 15 cm (6 inches) long.
The cup, about 8cm in diameter and 15cm long, was said to have gotten stuck in a man’s rectum 10 days before the operation by friends while intoxicated after an alcohol party in Surat, Gujarat
His family members took him to the hospital after finding out, local media said, which said the man did not immediately report the incident because he feared embarrassment.
An X-ray at MKCG Medical College and Hospital in the city of Berhampur showed the cup was stuck in the intestine.
NDTV India said they removed the cup after 10 days when the man’s stomach started to swell as he has not had a bowel movement since the incident.
Doctors first attempted to retrieve the cup through the rectum, but had to resort to surgery due to the sheer size of the object.
The doctors had to cut through the intestines in order to eventually recover it. The operation took about 2.5 hours in total.
The unfortunate man is recovering after the operation and his condition is said to be stable.
He will remain in the hospital under observation for another 4-5 days.
