A 66-year-old woman was found with 55 AA and AAA batteries in her colon and stomach, according to the Irish Medical Journal.
The incident happened in Dublin, Ireland.
The woman arrived at St Vincent’s University Hospital, and an x-ray later revealed that she had foreign objects inside her body.
However, by a stroke of miracle and sheer luck, none of the foreign objects had obstructed her gastrointestinal tract.
The doctors had initially hoped that the batteries would be passed out of her body naturally, but subsequent x-rays showed that most of the batteries were still stuck inside her body, even though she had passed out 5 of them in a week.
The woman then started experiencing pain in her abdomen, and doctors realised that her distended stomach was hanging above her pubic bone because of the weight of the batteries.
Surgery was then performed on her and doctors cut into her abdomen and removed 46 of the batteries.
However, despite all the efforts, 4 of the batteries still remain trapped inside the colon, and doctors removed the remaining batteries through her “behind” by “milking” her rectum.
