Description
Milad Dodangeh and co-authors describe a dangerous self-harm case in this 2026 report. A 27-year-old man deliberately swallowed nine razor blades and a full table fork, objects spread across different parts of his gut, raising the risk of tearing and bleeding.
X-rays and scans showed the fork, about 19 centimetres long, stretching from his lower gullet into his stomach, with the blades further down in the small bowel. Pulling them out through the mouth was judged unsafe. Surgeons opened both stomach and bowel under X-ray guidance and removed everything. He recovered well, and mental health follow-up was arranged.
