Bedside Extraction of a Rectal Foreign Body Using Hyperinflated Foley Catheter Traction: A Case Report.

Bedside rectal foreign body (RFB) extraction can be a challenging task in the emergency department (ED) and may require operative or endoscopic management if unsuccessful. Many techniques have been described for RFB extraction including utilization of a Foley catheter. We present a case of a RFB successfully removed at the bedside using a hyperinflated Foley catheter after initial attempts using standard inflation volume were unsuccessful. This RFB case report highlights the bedside management of a difficult clinical situation and suggests a potential new modification to an established procedural technique.
