| Abstract [eng] |
Rectal foreign bodies are not an uncommon presentation in the emergency department. The variety of foreign bodies inserted to the distal colon is enormous and ingenious methods have been described for the extraction of these foreign bodies. The aim of this article is to present a rare case of colorectal foreign body removal and to review current literature in this area. We present a case of a 29-year old male patient with a difficult colorectal foreign body of moisture-cure semirigid polyurethane foam insulation which expands roughly two times in size during curing. When manual transanal extraction in the emergency department failed, the patient was admitted directly to the operating room for retrieval of the foreign body under general anesthesia. A laparotomy was conducted and the foreign body was successfuly removed transanally from the colorectal region without a colotomy. The patient was discharged within 6 days of the operation. A current literature review is presented and a management strategy suggested. |
