A 26-year-old Sydney woman accidentally swallowed a teaspoon during a laughing fit while eating spaghetti.
She is understood to have gagged reflexively, but by then it was too late.
Doctors were astonished by what they saw when she arrived at Canterbury Hospital.
An X-ray and camera gastroscope revealed the 15cm implement stuck in her throat at the top of her stomach.
Numerous doctors examined the images and offered advice on how to remove the spoon – with most recommending surgery.
They eventually managed to remove it manually – albeit "with great difficulty".
