Summary:

       The authors describe an unusual extraction of a foreign body from the colon, introduced anally by the patient himself. It was a 23 cm long arm of a doll from plastic material. After an unsuccessful attempt to remove the body by anoscopy, the body was removed by a loop by means of the colonoscope.On day four after the extraction the patient was admitted to Clinic of Surgery with the diagnosis of pneumoperitoneum. A conservative treatment improved the condition of the patient who was then dismissed from the hospital to home treatment. The control X-ray examination did not reveal any signs of pneumoperitoneum.

        Key words: extraction of a foreign body from the colon, pneumoperitoneum
