Abstract

Foreign body ingestion is not an uncommon situation in everyday life, especially in children, alcoholics, the mentally handicapped, edentulous people or people wearing dentures, etc. In most cases, the ingested foreign bodies pass uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract, usually within a week without any complications, and perforation of the bowel is rare, less than 1% of cases. Foreign bodies can cause perforation at any location of the gastrointestinal tract, such as esophagus, duodenum, small bowel, colon, etc. However, colonic perforation due to foreign bodies is rarer still and less reported. In this article, we report of a 84-year-old male patient, edentulous and alcoholic, who had a rectosigmoid junction perforation due to accidentally ingesting a duck bone, leading to peritonitis. The patient had an emergency laparoscopy and had the foreign body removed, the hole closed, a lavage and the peritoneal drained. The patient recovered well after the operation and was discharged safely after 10 days in the hospital.
