  • Doctors in France have had to remove a World War I bomb from the rectum of an 88-year-old man.
  • The senior reportedly inserted the shell in his anus for his own pleasure, French outlet Var-Matin reported.
  • A spokesperson for Hospital Sainte Musse said the bomb squad was called, and the hospital evacuated. 

Doctors in France have had to remove a World War I bomb from the rectum of an 88-year-old man, French outlet Var-Matin reports.

According to the news site, the anonymous senior went to Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon to remove the 8-inch artillery shell from his anus, which he had placed inside him for pleasure.

Doctors at the hospital were not just concerned about the medical needs of the senior but also that the explosive could detonate in the hospital. However, it was quickly determined that the risk of an explosion was minimal.

A spokesperson for Hospital Sainte Musse told the Daily Mail that the incident last Saturday required the "intervention of bomb disposal personnel, the evacuation of adult and pediatric emergencies, as well as the diversion of incoming emergencies."

According to the Mail, the bomb was commonly used by the French military in the early 1900s and is now a collector's item from World War I.

The spokesperson also told the news site that the elderly man is now recovering well and was in "good health" after the 8-inch long and 2-inch wide shell was removed from his anus.

Last year, bomb disposal experts were called to a hospital in Gloucester, England, after a man told doctors that a World War II anti-tank shell was lodged inside of him.
