An unnamed 31-year-old Italian man turned up to A&E with a 23-inch dildo stuck inside him after having no success removing the toy at home. I want to know how he got himself there in the first place!

Surprisingly he reported only experiencing mild abdominal pain. This may explain the getting himself to A&E.

The x-ray showed just how deep the "long and large-sized" dong entered his body.

You'd think "OUCH!" But apparently not.

Doctors begun trying all the normal methods to remove the toy, but to no success.

The dildo was "too big and smooth." Meaning that the normal instruments couldn't create enough pull to discharge the toy.

Therefore a new tool was required. It's said that some of the greatest inventions are created from an accident. However this probably wasn't the accident you had in mind.

The doctors put their ingenuity together to create a lasso-like implement that would catch the end of the dildo and drag it out.

The new invention!

Lead medic Dr Lorenzo Dioscoridi recorded in the final journal "Several standard attempts with different extraction devices were made."

"We finally succeeded in the endoscopic extraction of the device, catching the distal edge of the dildo with this guidewire lasso."

"This device showed a technical advantage as compared with ordinary polypectomy snares, due to its much higher stiffness"

The patient was discharged for the second time that day, later writing a thankyou note to the doctors who solved his "embarrasing problem."

A month on from his trip to the hospital, he reported no lasting symptoms.
