Two cases of rectal foreign bodies

Abstract

We report two cases of rectal foreign bodies. Case 1: a 25-year-old male, inserted a mini whisky bottle into his rectum. The bottle was removed transanally after spinal anesthesia, but sever abdominal pain and abdominal free air appeared on the second postoperative day‥ The finding upon operation was perforation of the anterior rectal wall. Case 2: a 36-year-old male inserted a shampoo bottle into his rectum. We removed the foreign body transanally after spinal anesthesia. No postoperative complication appeared. In Japan, reports of rectal foreign bodies are a few but are expected to increase in the future. We report two cases of our experiences with some additional consideration from the literature. © 1987, The Showa University Society. All rights reserved.
