title: [Rectal foreign bodies. Principles of therapy].
abstract: The authors report their experience with the treatment of endorectal foreign bodies (EFB). They review the literature on the subject and examine the various therapeutic options. Considering the possible complications of leaving an EFG in place for prolonged period of times in the hope of spontaneous delivery, they suggest that immediate removal is always indicated. They describe various technical modalities for endoscopic removal, that can avoid laparotomy in the majority of cases.
