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.
