A Croatian hospital has framed a collection of objects found in patients' bodies over the last 80 years.

Among the items to have been recovered include animal bones, a metal communist red star, buttons and coins - and they are set to be put on display in the facility in Sibenik.

A spokesman for the hospital was quoted by the Austrian Times as saying: "We started collecting things in the 1930s to show medical students the sort of thing to look for in cases like this."

The hospital also has a collection of items patients have asked to have surgically removed, including sex toys, deodorant cans and TV remote controls.
