About the case
- The man was treated in the emergency room at a hospital in João Pessoa.
- He had an object measuring more than 1m inserted into his anus.
- The man underwent removal surgery and is in stable condition.
To safely remove the object, the patient underwent laparotomy surgery, which involves opening the abdominal cavity. In other words: the material was removed from the patient’s belly.

In a statement, the hospital confirmed the case but, at the request of family members, was unable to provide further information about the patient.
