TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - A rare case of rectal perforation from an accidentally swallowed foreign body JO - Clinical case reports A1 - Sposato, Luigi Alessandro A1 - Reddy, Chinnappa SP - 963 EP - 964 VL - 6 IS - 5 N2 - Rectal foreign bodies are not an infrequent presentation and can cause a serious dilemma regarding extraction and management. Management is determined by the site of the injury, degree of fecal contamination, the hemodynamic status of the patient, and comorbidities. Intraperitoneal injuries require surgery in the form of either a primary repair or formal resection with or without diversion. Extraperitoneal perforations maybe managed with presacral drainage and antibiotics with or without diversion.
