[Treatment of rectal foreign bodies].

AIM: to present the results of treatment of rectal foreign bodies.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: 15-year outcomes of 112 patients with rectal foreign bodies were analyzed.

RESULTS: Outpatient and hospital care were applied in 52 (46%) and 60 (54%) of cases respectively. Transanal removal was made in 97 (87%) patients including 28 (25%) cases of general anaesthesia. 14 (13%) patients underwent surgery. Colostomy was performed in 7 (6%) cases. We presented cases of foreign bodies removal through laparotomy, colotomy and SILS-assisted transanal approach.

DISCUSSION: From clinical point of view foreign bodies should be first of all classified by their dimensions. Anamnesis and physical examination are very important. Abdominal X-ray survey is obligatory. Transanal removal under general anaesthesia is advisable if perforation is absent. If such procedure is impossible laparotomy is indicated.

CONCLUSION: Algorithm of survey and treatment is presented.
