A man required surgery after a bottle became lodged in his rectum. Doctors successfully removed the object via laparotomy and colotomy due to complications.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Foreign body insertion into the rectum is a rare but serious clinical event.
  • Prompt management is crucial to prevent complications such as perforation or obstruction.

Observation:

  • A 67-year-old male presented with a rectal foreign body, a bottle, 12 hours post-insertion.
  • Initial attempts at non-surgical removal failed due to significant perirectal edema and a wire constricting the object.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention was necessary for the removal of the rectal foreign body.
  • A laparotomy followed by a longitudinal colotomy was successfully performed to extract the bottle.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the challenges in managing complex rectal foreign bodies.
