A MAJOR rescue operation was launched after a man got a metal nut stuck on his manhood during a kinky sex game.
Fire crews, medical staff and even a dentist were involved in the delicate procedure to free it.
And it finally took a surgeon using the fire brigade's high-powered angle grinder two hours to get it off.
The rescue cost around £5,000 - because eight fire engines were needed to provide back-up power.
A Tyne and Wear fire spokesman said: "The last thing you want is your grinder going down on you on a job like that."
The man, in his 30s, had left the nut attached for two weeks. When he got to Sunderland Royal Infirmary, he was in agony.
A hospital source said: "His member had swollen to a remarkable size."
A dentist tried his small drills first, then three firemen had to don scrubs to assist the surgeon.
The man has now been told his part might be beyond surgical repair.
