Two port laparoscopic-assisted removal of a migrating rectal foreign body

Abstract: A variety of rectal foreign bodies have been documented in the English literature. They are inserted for various reasons including social pleasure. Most of them can be removed manually per ano. Here, we report a case of a big soft foreign body in the recto-sigmoid, which required the assistance of laparoscopy to enable retrieval.

“…15 Two or 3 intraabdominal ports are used, through which instruments are used to “milk” the object distally into the rectum to permit for manual extraction. 6 Laparotomy may also be required to remove foreign bodies, either by colotomy with extraction and primary closure, resection and primary anastomosis, or resection and colostomy creation. Any injury to the rectum or colon caused by the object must be repaired.…”

“…However, repeated palpation of the object by multiple physicians can cause the object to migrate more proximally in the rectum, requiring more-invasive approaches to extraction. There have been numerous methods described in the literature, such as obstetrical suction devices or the use of uterine or Kocher clamps, 1,3–5 laparoscopic, as well as manually assisted, “milking” of the large bowel, 6 snare-wire extraction sigmoidoscopy, 1 as well as complete division of the anal sphincters. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports on the transanal use of the SILS™ port (Covidien, Mansfield, MA, USA) for extraction of a foreign body.…”

“…Surgery in stable patients is guided by a step-up approach. Laparoscopy should be performed to begin with, as it allows to evaluate the contamination of the peritoneal cavity and, in the absence of a perforation, a laparoscopicassisted technique can be performed, gently milking downward the AFB to allow a transanal extraction [253,270]. Milking can be performed manipulating the object distally using transmural pressure and, wherever feasible, is preferred to colotomy.…”
