6 pins removed from pvt part of 30-yr-old

Kolkata: A 30-year-old mentally retarded man from Bihar was successfully operated upon at Ramakrishna Mission Seva Pratishthan on Saturday where the doctors removed as many as six pins from inside his penis.

The victim was brought to the hospital from Siwan district in Bihar last Monday after he complained of pain inside his private part.

After conducting X-Ray, the doctors were perplexed to see pins inside his penis. He also faced difficulties while urinating.

The doctors decided to conduct the surgery on Saturday. They first performed microsurgery through which they removed two pins. They had to cut open a small portion from his lower abdomen to remove the other four pins. The operation was not easy as his veins could have been affected.

Adequate measures were taken while conducting the surgery so that no injury occurs while removing the pins.

The patient told the doctors that he had inserted the pins into the urinary tract when he used to feel an itching sensation inside his penis.

The patient has been stated to be in stable condition and recovering well.
