Two port laparoscopic-assisted removal of a migrating rectal foreign body

R Durai et al. Tech Coloproctol. 2010 Sep.

Abstract

A variety of rectal foreign bodies have been documented in the English literature. They are inserted for various reasons including social pleasure. Most of them can be removed manually per ano. Here, we report a case of a big soft foreign body in the recto-sigmoid, which required the assistance of laparoscopy to enable retrieval.
