A doctor here took out a mobile charger cord from the urinary bladder of a 30-year-old man despite the man "misleading" the surgeon into operating on his stomach. Walliul Islam, a consultant surgeon at a private hospital here, said on Friday that the man came to him a few days back and informed him that he was having stomach ache after consuming a headphone cable by mistake. "The man lied as nothing was found in his gastrointestinal tract after surgery. Subsequently, an X-ray detected the cable of a mobile charger in his urinary bladder. The man had inserted the mobile charging cord through his penis," the doctor told the media on Friday.

He added that the cord was taken out successfully and the patient is recovering. "The surgery could have been avoided had the man told the actual fact. The cord could have been removed via the penile urethra through which he had inserted it," the surgeon said.
