Abstract: Rectal foreign bodies represent a challenging and unique field of colorectal trauma. Approach to such patients encompassed medico legal, psycho social domains. A high index of suspicion of perforation must be kept in mind and looked for in imaging. Retrieval of foreign body may be spontaneous, trans anal extraction, endoscopic extraction or by laparotomy. Trans anal retrieval of a large gourd makes our case unique in terms of nature of foreign body and technique of retrieval.
