I'll bet the headline made you look. It made me look too
when I was on Medpage Today.
Here is the story; complete with X-Ray.

"How do you remove a sex toy stuck inside a man's rectum?
This was the clinical conundrum that confronted surgeons at Dublin's Mater Misericordiae University Hospital last December. As they write in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, a "68-year-old man presented to the emergency department with severe lower abdominal discomfort, distension and inability to pass urine, flatus, or bowel motions. He had inserted a phallic object in the rectum 10 hours prior to presentation and had been unable to remove same.
Doctors tried to remove the 23 centimeter-long object -- see the X-ray pictured above -- in the emergency department, but that didn't work. "Therefore, it was necessary to remove the object using a bi-manual technique in the lithotomy position under general anaesthesia in the operating theatre." The position of the sex toy was such that removing it required the use of a Magill's forceps, similar to what the authors refer to as a "cork in bottle technique" that had been previously described."
The patient did just fine. As the authors note, "Extraction of rectal foreign bodies requires ingenuity."
