"Doctor, the child has inserted a needle into his own genitals!"

Hurry up
Department of Emergency Department, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University
This is a 5-year-old boy, on the night of the sixth day of the first year, he suddenly told his parents that his genitals were painful and he could not urinate. Parents are very strange, and when they ask, they know that the child, out of curiosity, has stuffed a needle along the urethra into his genitals.
The parents immediately panicked and took their children to the Ningyi University General Hospital for treatment. The receiving doctor gave the child a CT examination, and the image results showed that there was indeed a needle stuck in the child's posterior urethra, one at the entrance of the bladder, one hidden in the root of the genitals, and from the outside, there was also a slender needle in the middle of the scrotum.
The first thing the doctor came up with was to grab it with a cystoscope. Ningyi University general hospital has a special children's cystoscope, the cystoscope comes with a channel, you can reach into a forceps to grasp foreign bodies. But the problem is that the passage of the pediatric cystoscope is very narrow, and the gripping forceps that can reach in are extremely miniature, very fragile, and a sewing coat is too big and too heavy for it to be grasped at all.
For a time, the doctor on duty had no choice but to do anything, so he invited Su Zeli, chief physician of pediatric surgery, to come to consultation. Su Zeli rushed to the scene at the first time, and after understanding the situation, he also felt a little tricky: "I am also the first time to encounter such a situation. "Seeing the distressed child and the anxious parent, he knew that he could not drag it out, and decided to overcome the problem of lack of assistive devices and take out the foreign body with his bare hands.
CT images showed that both ends of the needle had been inserted into the urethra, near the outer end, and Su Zeli could faintly touch a little in the middle of the scrotum, but the inner end could not be touched from the outside. Director Su Zeli tried to touch it from the inside of his anus, and only then did he vaguely touch the other end.
The next step is to take the needle. Because there is no equipment to assist, the needle is all dependent on the doctor's feel, which is greatly reduced once the medical gloves are worn. For this reason, Su Zeli had to take off his medical gloves and operate them with his bare hands. This is not easy, the needle must come out from the outside, the direction and strength must be grasped very precisely, Su Zeli will put a finger into the child's anus, touch the inside tip of the needle, resist, carefully apply the thrust, the other hand controls the direction, little by little the needle is pushed out of the urethra, and finally through the anterior urethral scrotum, smoothly removed!
The needle was taken out, and the parents were immediately relieved and excitedly thanked Su Zeli. I saw that this was a household sewing needle about 4 centimeters long, the surface had some rust, the tip of the needle was sharp, and in the process of taking the needle with his bare hands, Su Zeli's fingers were also punctured with red marks.
Su Zeli reminded parents to strengthen the safety education of their children. Children around the age of 5 are lively and active, ignorant and full of curiosity about the world, unable to distinguish which behaviors are dangerous, and are prone to accidental injuries such as falls, burns, electric shocks, traffic accidents, drowning, animal bites, and play injuries. Parents should always popularize some safety knowledge to their children and strengthen supervision of their children. Sharp objects such as sewing needles and scissors should be placed out of the reach of the child. Medicines at home, as well as small items such as buttons and coins, should also be locked up to prevent children from being injured by swallowing by mistake.
