Medical staff at Renzhou People's Hospital in Guangdong Province, China, announced the case of such treatment in the `Asian Journal of Surgery.'
A 62-year-old male A visited the hospital after suffering from abdominal pain for 16 hours.
Asked by the medical staff, he said he put the toy ball in the anus out of curiosity.
The test revealed an elastic ball filled with water inside the plastic.
There were fluorescent patterns such as star shapes on the outside of the transparent ball about 6.5 cm in diameter. The ball was lodged in the rectum about 7 cm from the anus.
Colonoscopy revealed congestion and swelling of the mucous membrane in the middle and lower part of the rectum, and fortunately, no perforation was found.
Under general anesthesia, doctors tried to pull it out using medical tongs, but the size of the ball was so large that it was useless.
As a result, the medical team drilled a hole in the ball with a scalpel, drained the water inside, and reduced the size and successfully removed it.
The medical team evaluated it as a successful case of removing rectal foreign substances through minimally invasive procedures through endoscopy.
