    Abstract:
    During the 22 years period there were 26 patients (23 men and 3 women) aged from 18 to 71 with foreign bodies in the rectum introduced through the anal canal. The main causes of the appearance of foreign bodies in the rectum were anal masturbation (in 12 patients) and forced introduction of the objects by other people (in 10 patients). Among the foreign bodies prevailing were plastic and glass bottles, cucumbers and carrots, wooden and rubber objects in the from of the phallus. Typical were large sizes of the most objects introduced (the diametrical size more than 6 cm and the length more than 15 cm) which was responsible for the development of complications and made the removal difficult. The symptoms of the presence of foreign bodies in the rectum were determined as well as the optimum methods of diagnosis. A classification of rectal foreign bodies is proposed for the solution of medico-tactical tasks. The transcanal removal of the foreign bodies was fulfilled in 23 patients. The standardized technique of the transcanal removal of the objects is thought by the authors to include 10 principal propositions. Open operative interventions (removal of the foreign body, suturing the rupture, drainage of the abdominal cavity or of the perirectal space, sigmostomy) were performed in 4 patients with penetrating injuries of the rectum wall. The results of the treatment including removal of all foreign bodies were good, without lethal outcomes.
