This is the extraordinary moment doctors removed a mobile phone lodged deep inside a man’s mouth.
The clip shows an unidentified man lying sedated on a hospital bed in Klerksdorp, South Africa, with medical staff crowded around him.
Some of them can be heard laughing as metal clamps are used to pull the electronic device from his mouth.
The clip, originally filmed in 2012 by Edwin Shingo, resurfaced this week on video-sharing site LiveLeak.
It is unclear how the smartphone got stuck there.
In 2005, a US man was charged with felony assault for forcing a mobile phone down his ex-girlfriend’s throat during an argument.
