Abstract

Retained foreign bodies in the rectum represent a common challenge to clinicians. They have different modes and reasons for insertion. Many case series and case reports described several methods for removal of these foreign bodies.This is a case of a 61 -year - old male who presented to the surgical outpatient with anal pain and bleeding. On digital rectal examination the bottom of a foreign body was palpable. Under general anesthesia a trial of extraction using forceps failed, thus, a size 24 Foley catheter was used to remove the foreign body. It was a big long perfume bottle. The patient had an uneventful recovery period and he was followed for two weeks. No complications developed.Foreign bodies in the rectum are not uncommon. Many methods can be used for their removal and Foley catheter extraction is one of them.
