Dentures Removed From OAP Stomach After Pancake Mishap

Doctors fished a set of false teeth out of a pensioner’s digestive tract and removed it via his mouth after his dentures “fell” into his stomach during a meal of buns and pancakes.

Mr Shang, 80, was treated at Jinan Central Hospital, in Shandong Province in East China, a few hours after the accident on the morning of 23rd November.

Scans showed the metallic object resting in Mr Shang’s stomach, and a subsequent endoscopy revealed it to be a row of three false teeth attached to a metal plate, with sharp hooks on either side.
