title: Removal of a large foreign body in the rectosigmoid colon by colonoscopy using gastrolith forceps.
abstract: Rectal foreign bodies are man-made injury that occurs occasionally. The management depends on its depth and the consequence it caused. We here report a case of rectal foreign body (a glass bottle measuring about 38 mm × 75 mm) which was located 13-15 cm from the anus. The patient had no sign of perforation, and we managed to remove it using endoscopy with gastrolith forceps.
