Abstract

Rectal foreign body insertion is an increasingly common surgical dilemma that requires thorough history, physical examination, radiographs and inventiveness to treat. Additionally the surgeon should demonstrate a sympathetic and caring attitude. This case report highlights the successful surgical management of a rare and bizarre case of extensive intraperitoneal injuries due to a wire inserted by the patient to retrieve a rectal foreign body introduced for sexual gratification.

Keywords: Rectal foreign bodies.
