A man ended up in the hospital after shoving dynamite into his bum and detonating it.
The horrific incident was reported in a medical journal compiled by researchers led by Ali E. Zumrutbas at the Department of Urology at Pamukkale University School of Medicine in Denizil, Turkey.
The team wrote in the journal: “A 35-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department of our hospital for rectal injury.”
They pointed out in the journal that the man had a history of self-mutilation.
The man, which the report did not name, had previously amputated his testicles and also had a history of multiple skin incisions.
The medical report for the patient reads: “This case reports a schizophrenic patient who had a multisystem genitourinary and rectal trauma after self-detonation of an explosive in the rectum and managed with reconstructive surgery without any postoperative complications.
“Lower urinary tract anatomy was preserved and full continence was achieved after the surgical procedure.”
The report continued: “He inserted a dynamite-like small explosives into his rectum and fired it.”
Because the anal and perineal regions were totally crashed and physical examination revealed necrotic areas at anal sphincter, which extends 15cm proximally, a foreign body was found in the colon.
According to the report, “After the initial operation, he was referred to our hospital for genitourinary reconstruction. He had a colostomy and a large hole with a diameter of 10cm in his anal region.”
Bladder repairs and a “large hole in the anal region was reconstructed”, doctors reported.
