Abstract

A foreign body in the rectum is not a very common surgical emergency case. In the treatment of rectal foreign bodies, the aim is to use the simplest possible method while protecting the integrity of the intestine. Many removal techniques have been described in the literature. Here we report a case in which a transanal technique using a single incision laparoscopic surgery port was successfully used.
