So that the doctors can point and laugh.

For a real answer, generally cutting blindly into a patient with no imaging is ground for a malpractice suit.

Edit: I worked in IT support radiologists for.... too long, so my thoughts broadened past just an unfortunate insertion.

Cutting isn't how most of these come out, they can usually be pulled out after some uncomfortable stretching.

Ruling out damage/tear to the intestine is probably a better reason, since an x-ray will show "pockets" of free air where there shouldn't be any, and if they don't catch it that person is probably coming back in several hours but this time with a massive, deadly infection.

cutting???

I thought they remove it from where it came from. after all, it did fit inside. just use some forceps and lots of lube.
