Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Foreign body insertion into the anal canal is a common occurrence, often associated with sexual practices.
  • Management requires a systematic approach to ensure patient safety and successful retrieval.

Observation:

  • A 63-year-old male presented with a foreign body (salami) in the anal canal, self-inserted for sexual stimulation.
  • The object could not be removed non-surgically, leading to the need for laparotomy.

Findings:

  • Laparotomy was required for the removal of the foreign body, indicating a complex case.
  • Diagnostic tools such as radiography are crucial for accurate assessment and planning of removal.

Implications:
