A male patient was admitted to the hospital with anal pain. The patient stated that because he wanted to try a strange feeling, he put the sausage with “original belt” in and because his hand slipped, he got stuck deep in the anus.

After two days at home, trying to remove the foreign body but failed, the patient was taken to Binh Thuan General Hospital by his family for emergency treatment.

Performing an emergency rectal endoscopy, the doctors discovered that the sausage plant was deep in the patient’s rectum.

The doctors initially diagnosed this as a case of intestinal obstruction due to a foreign body that was a screw about 3 cm long and a glassy foreign object 5 cm from the anus.
