Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of published reports on foreign bodies (FBs) involve the rectum and applied a transanal retrieval. Usually, patients with FB above the rectum are subjected to laparotomy for removal. Here, we illustrate the case of a man with an FB that had migrated into the descending colon, and its successful removal via a laparoscopic approach.
CASE SUMMARY A 43-year-old man, who had the habit of FB insertion into his anus to aid defecation, presented upon experience of such an FB slipping through and migrating upward to the distal colon. Plain abdominal radiograph revealed a bottle-shaped FB, positioned in the left iliac fossa region. The FB was successfully removed via a laparoscopic-assisted procedure in which we combined diagnostic laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques during surgery. The patient was monitored for 2 d postoperatively and subsequently discharged home.
CONCLUSION A minimally invasive approach should be adopted to aid extraction of colorectal FB as it is effective and safe.

Proposal of an algorithm for the management of rectally inserted foreign bodies: a surgical single-center experience with review of the literature. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2022; 407:2499-2508. [PMID: 35654873 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-022-02571-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Retained rectal foreign bodies (RFBs) are uncommon clinical findings. Although the management of RFBs is rarely reported in the literature, clinicians regularly face this issue. To date, there is no standardized management of RFBs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate our own data and subsequently develop a treatment algorithm. METHODS All consecutive patients who presented between January 2006 and December 2019 with rectally inserted RFBs at the emergency department of the Klinikum Stuttgart, Germany, were retrospectively identified. Clinicopathologic features, management, complications, and outcomes were assessed. Based on this experience, a treatment algorithm was developed. RESULTS A total of 69 presentations with rectally inserted RFBs were documented in 57 patients. In 23/69 cases (33.3%), the RFB was removed transanally by the emergency physician either digitally (n = 14) or with the help of a rigid rectoscope (n = 8) or a colonoscope (n = 1). In 46/69 cases (66.7%), the RFB was removed in the operation theater under general anesthesia with muscle relaxation. Among these, 11/46 patients (23.9%) underwent abdominal surgery, either for manual extraction of the RFB (n = 9) or to exclude a bowel perforation (n = 2). Surgical complications occurred in 3/11 patients. One patient with rectal perforation developed pelvic sepsis and underwent abdominoperineal extirpation in the further clinical course. CONCLUSION The management of RFBs can be challenging and includes a wide range of options from removal without further intervention to abdominoperineal extirpation in cases of pelvic sepsis. Whenever possible, RFBs should obligatorily be managed in specialized colorectal centers following a clear treatment algorithm.

Abstract
Rectal foreign bodies are not uncommon and often pose a serious challenge to surgeons. In majority, the objects are inserted by self in children, psychiatric patients and for sexual gratification in adults. Various rectal foreign bodies have been reported. Deodorant aerosol spray can in the rectum has not been reported previously. Danger of aerosol dispenser can is the risk of fire and explosion. Especially during any surgical procedures to remove the foreign body using cautery or any energy devices. We report of a rare foreign body of deodorant aerosol spray can in the rectum in a young male patient, which was removed under general anaesthesia.
