(Telegraph) - In a case considered so unusual it was written up in a medical journal by the three operating doctors, the man inserted a four-inch steel fork into his urethra in an attempt to achieve sexual gratification.
But the fork became stuck and was not visible when the man presented to
doctors hours later.
The doctors could feel the utensil and observed it on X-rays. They then
extracted the fork free using forceps and "copious lubrication"
while the patient was under a general anaesthetic.
The case was written up in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports
two weeks ago in a paper titled "An Unusual Urethral Foreign Body".
The doctors said they wrote up the case "given the great management
challenge faced by the oddity and infrequency with which a fork is
encountered in the penile urethra".
