Removal of a large foreign body in the rectosigmoid colon by colonoscopy using gastrolith forceps

Abstract: Rectal foreign bodies are man-made injury that occurs occasionally. The management depends on its depth and the consequence it caused. We here report a case of rectal foreign body (a glass bottle measuring about 38 mm × 75 mm) which was located 13-15 cm from the anus. The patient had no sign of perforation, and we managed to remove it using endoscopy with gastrolith forceps.

“…To date, in 10 reports in which rectal foreign bodies were removed under endoscope guidance, foreign bodies were removed using a snare or forceps for polypectomy and using a urinary balloon (Table 1 ) [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. In addition, different types of foreign bodies commonly include vibrators, bottles, fruits, cigar cases, etc.…”

“…It can be speculated, however, that the changing attitudes toward open-minded societies with the greater acceptance of individual lifestyles as well as sexual preferences may be one reason. Most studies dealing with RFB are case reports [6], [7], [8], [9], [10] or describe only a small number of cases [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]. With respect to the reviewed literature, our study on 20 patients with 22 cases is one of the bigger series.…”

“…The literature presents many case reports that are demonstrate ingenious and sophisticated techniques of removing RFBs [7], [8], [9], [10], [23], [24]. Koornstra and Weersma presented a case report demonstrating an endoscopic technique using a pneumatic dilatation balloon normally used in achalasia.…”
