Teenager rushed to UK hospital after sticking USB cable up his penis

A 15-year-old boy had to be rushed to hospital in the UK to have a USB cable removed from his urethra, a new report says.

The teenager, from London, inserted the USB cable into his penis for "sexual experimentation" before it became stuck in his urethra.

After unsuccessfully trying to remove the cable, the boy was taken to the hospital where he underwent several surgeries.

"On admission, he was haemodynamically stable. The two distal ports of the USB wire were found to be protruding from the external urethral meatus whilst the middle part of the knotted wire remained within the urethra," the study published in Urology Case Reports says. 

"The knotted cable was revealed in the proximal aspect of the penile urethra and cut from the remainder of the cord. Both ends of the wire were pulled out successfully through the external urethral meatus."

According to the report, the boy made a full recovery.
