Abstrakt: Removal of retained foreign bodies can be a tedious process, requiring considerable skill and ingenuity on the part of the surgeon. Employment of a curved, double-pronged, uterine vulsellum can be useful in simplifying removal of certain of these objects. A method which can be employed on an outpatient basis is described. When this method fails, suitable cooperation by the patient is lacking, or there is evidence of serious rectal injury or perforation, hospitalization for appropriate treatment under general or regional anesthesia is indicated.
