A man who swallowed an entire Nokia 3310 phone had to be operated on by 
Doctors in Kosovo after the phone had become lodged in his stomach.


The unidentified 33-year-old man swallowed the phone but it was too large for him to digest, and put his life in danger as the corrosive battery acid could have leaked out.

He managed to remove the foreign object without cutting into the stomach by taking it out in three pieces with endoscopy.
