A farmer from Jiayu county of Hubei Province of China has lived 55 years without an anus, after being born with congenital anal atresia. But now doctors have now reshaped a new fundament for him.
Wu previously endured a 0.5-centimeter diameter surgical hole, or stomas, near his urethra for excrement, through which he could squeeze stools out with his hands. Wu had to pay attention to the food he ate, avoid constipation and was a frequent user of laxatives.
The dilemma left him very thin but it did not prevent him getting married and having children.
As his economic situation improved, Wu went to the Wuhan Hospital at the end of last year, where Dr Li Zhibiao examined him and framed operation plans. Wu accepted an artificial anus, and three days later, could excrete like normal people.

'Artificial Anus' would be a great name for a band.
So would 'Excrete like normal people'.
I dunno, "Excrete like normal people" sounds like a self-help book for precocious 2-year-olds who want to potty-train themselves.
Ha! I feel like such a child, giggling here at these silly poo and bumhole jokes. But I would totally by that book for my two-year-old goddaughter. I'm sure at least her father would appreciate the humour.
