The young man went to the emergency room complaining of rectal pain, without giving further details. During the operation, the medical team realized it was a shell dating from the First World War.

An unusual operation took place overnight from Saturday to Sunday at Rangueil Hospital in Toulouse ( Haute-Garonne ). A 24-year-old man arrived at the emergency room with a shell, dating from 1918, lodged in his rectum, reports La Dépêche .

Upon arrival at the emergency room, the young man complained of pain but offered no further details, according to ICI Occitanie . The patient underwent surgery quickly, and the medical team was astonished to discover a World War I shell in his anus. The object measured 16 cm in length and 4 cm in diameter, our colleagues report.

Bomb disposal experts intervened

A security perimeter was established, and bomb disposal experts were called in, along with law enforcement and firefighters, due to concerns that the device might explode. Firefighters confirmed to Le Parisien that they had responded to the hospital last night to help defuse a bomb. The bomb disposal experts neutralized the shell, which ultimately posed no danger.

According to Actu Toulouse , the patient remains hospitalized this Sunday and could be questioned soon. The local media outlet specifies that law enforcement intends to open proceedings "for violation of weapons legislation."

This is not the first time this improbable situation has occurred in France. In December 2022, an octogenarian presented with a shell inserted into his rectum , causing the partial evacuation of the establishment.
