SURGEONS at a Philippines hospital are being probed after they allegedly filmed an operation in which a man had a spray can removed from his backside, then posted the footage on YouTube.
The video, which was taken down from the popular video-sharing website after several weeks, showed dozens of people in the operating theatre laughing and jeering as the surgeons removed the canister from the man's bottom, Deutsche-Presse Agentur reported.
The surgery was carried out at Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Centre in Cebu City, 585km south of Manila.
Hospital spokesman Emmanuel Gines said the 39-year-old patient would get an apology for the incident on January 3, which was being investigated.
The video was initially thought to be a hoax until the victim went to the media this week.
The man, a florist, said he ended up with the spray can inside him after insulting his partner's penis size.
