RESUMO
Management of retained trans-anal foreign bodies is yet to be standardized. We present a case of how a retained trans-anal colonic body spray can affect the anal sphincter and its effect on management. A male adult presented with a retained trans-anal body spray can in the colon and a weakened anal sphincter. A plain abdominal X-ray and colonoscopy confirmed the diagnosis. After a failed endoscopic removal, a non-operative manual removal was done. Sphincter tone improved 3 days later. The article describes anal sphincter weakness, patient categorization, and non-operative management of the retained colonic foreign body.
