Re: Man with Fork in Penis
The*International Journal of Surgery Case Reports*published an*article*entitled "An Unusual Urethral Foreign Body" authored by three Australian doctors from The Canberra Hospital's Department of Urology. Their article focusef on a 70-year-old man who presented to the Emergency Department with macroscopic haematuria but no other urinary symptoms. Detailed history taking revealed he had self-inserted a 10cm steel dining fork into his urethra*12 hours*prior, for autoerotic stimulation. On examination, the fork was not visible, but palpable within the penile urethra.* Extraction of the foreign body via the urethral meatus was successful under general anaesthesia, with the aide of lignocaine gel and Rampley forceps. An open excision was not required. The authors also noted that men inserting objects into their urethras is a fairly uncommon phenomenon, and the use of a fork in such a scenario is rather rare. |
