DOCTORS battled to remove a pint-sized glass jar stuck inside a man’s bum in a tricky procedure that could have killed him if it shattered.
The unnamed man from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, reportedly stuck a 0.5-litre mason jar inside his rectum that he couldn’t get out.
Medics were tasked with performing the emergency procedure and worked hard to stop the container from breaking into pieces.
They took care not to let the glass jar shatter into pointy shards during the complex surgery.
If the glass did shatter, fragments could have cut up the man’s insides and proved fatal.
The operation proved successful – and doctors managed to recover the complete jar, as well as a condom and lubricant from his rectum.
X-ray images from the hospital show how high up the glass container was placed inside the man’s anus – travelling up to his rectum.
Hospital spokesperson Alexey Nikonov told local media: “Remember that doctors are not the morality police.
“Stuck sex toys are often encountered in the practice of proctologists.”
Despite Russia’s strict anti-LGBT laws, he added that locals should not hesitate to seek help from doctors should they find themselves in similar situations.
It comes after a man was left in agony after he stuffed an eel up his bum once the sharp-toothed sea creature started to gnaw its way out of his digestive tract.
Disturbed medics in Vietnam discovered the 26-inch long eel in X-ray scans taken to diagnose the cause of his pain on July 27, according to local media.
They found the eel had attempted to chew its way to freedom by biting through the wall of his large intestine.
Initial attempts to remove the snake-like fish with a probe through his anus were thwarted when medics at Viet Duc Hospital, in Hanoi, found a lemon stuffed up there too.
Surgeons were forced to cut through his abdomen to remove the eel with forceps.
Meanwhile, a woman in India was impaled by a 2ft long rusty metal pole sticking out of the ground, after slipping and falling in a field.
Eye-popping scans reveal how the rod pierced through her backside into her abdomen after she fell on it bum-first.
Miraculously, the rusty, manure-coated pole didn’t pierce any major organs and the 65-year-old woman lived to tell her tale after undergoing emergency surgery to have it removed.
But she still needed a tetanus shot and antibiotics to stave off an infection.
Doctors in Manipal said this rare case of impalement through the bottom was rendered even rarer by the fact that it left no severe, lasting damage.
