Long-Standing Retained Foreign Body in the Rectum

The variety of objects removed from the rectum almost defies imagination. History is always obscure and misleading, the rectum can accommodate almost anything and the variety of rectal foreign bodies matches the ingenuity displayed for their removal. Principles of management include proper location, transanal extraction whenever possible and laparotomy only as a last resort. Prognosis is usually good.
