Abstract

Transanal rectal foreign body implies that a foreign body has been inserted transanally due to sexual orientation or other reasons and cannot be removed. Such cases require emergency measures because foreign bodies often present difficulties in manual removal or endoscopic removal and may even require surgery when peritonitis due to gastrointestinal perforation occurs. We report a patient in our hospital who had a rectal foreign body inserted into the deep part of the proctosigmoid that could be removed endoscopically. A 66-year-old man visited our hospital because of an eggplant which had been inserted into his rectum by his friend and could not be removed. Since plain abdominal computed tomography showed a foreign body thought to be an eggplant in the proctosigmoid, the foreign body was captured and removed with a snare under lower gastrointestinal endoscope guidance.

Keywords: Eggplant; Endoscopic treatment; Rectal foreign body.
