Article Synopsis
  • A 46-year-old man experienced a small bowel prolapse through the anus after straining, which became ischaemic due to prior insertion of a plastic object.
  • The bowel was carefully reinserted into the abdomen through a 4 cm perforation in the upper rectum without major complications, and the site was sutured.
  • A follow-up procedure showed the small bowel was healthy, leading to the creation of a loop colostomy for protection, demonstrating that resection isn't always necessary in such cases.

Inguinal hernias remain a clinical diagnosis, and imaging is used only in equivocal cases.
