By In Anal and Rectal Trauma

While accidental anal and rectal trauma is relatively rare, iatrogenic injuries to this region – particularly the anus – are quite common. This chapter describes the most frequent etiologies of anal/rectal trauma and the basic clinical and instrumental investigations necessary to provide the most appropriate treatment, particularly in emergencies, when saving patient’s life is a surgeon’s primary concern.

The surgical management of anal and rectal trauma and retention of foreign bodies in the rectum is discussed using a dedicate algorithm. Finally, the possible functional consequences of these traumas are reviewed and how to preserve fecal continence and normal evacuation is described.
