Introduction

Rectal foreign bodies are common in clinical practice; however, large rectal foreign bodies are rare. Rectal foreign bodies can be removed either noninvasively through the rectum or by open surgery. Most large rectal foreign bodies are very difficult to remove through the rectum and require open surgery.

Case presentation

We report the noninvasive removal of a complex, sharp rectal foreign body in a 38-year-old man. We devised an innovative method to remove the foreign object through the rectum using pads created from a plastic infusion container to protect the rectal-anal mucosa.

Outcomes

The patient had a noneventful postsurgical recovery and was discharged after 3 days.

Conclusion

This method is simple and safe and is suitable for use in primary-care hospitals.
