Abstract:
A 67-year-old man presented to Casualty approximately 12 hours after the insertion of a bottle into his rectum. An attempt was made to deliver the bottle through the rectum but because of perirectal oedema and a coat-hanger wire around the internal end of the bottle, this proved impossible. Laparotomy was performed and the bottle was removed through a longitudinal colotomy.
