Pneumatic oscillating microsagittal saw: a novel method for removal of a rectal foreign body

A 42‐year‐old man presented to the emergency department with a 75‐mm long piece of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe of 70 mm diameter lodged inside his rectum. He reported that 2 days earlier, he fell from a ladder at home and it had accidentally lodged there. He delayed his presentation because he thought it would pass spontaneously. He reported moderate amounts of rectal bleeding since that event. He denied any previous similar episodes. He had no medial or surgical history, took no regular medications, and smoked 15 cigarettes a day.
