The purposes of insertion and types of foreign bodies in rectum show great variation. Rectal foreign bodies need to be removed without giving damage to intestinal wall and this should be done in the easiest possible way. We have reported a new and a simple technique. It is easy to apply and safe. A patient was admitted to our clinic with a rectal foreign body (radish) which was successfully removed by cutting it into small pieces. We conclude that different kinds of rectal foreign bodies, especially fruit and vegetables, can be removed by this technique. Full article

Lipofilling has become a very important tool in plastic surgery today, since the first experience of autologous fat graft described more than one hundred years ago. Technical developments have led to a more delicate procedure called microlipofilling, in which thin cannulas or needles are used. A frequently discussed technical difficulty is how to inject with a small cannula the fat collected with a larger one. The authors describe their personal maneuver to resolve the above mentioned problem. Full article

Ectopic ovarian tissue is a rare gynecologic condition. Accessory ovaries were defined as excess ovarian tissue adjacent and connected to a normal ovary, while supernumerary ovaries were described as those ovaries situated away from normal ones. The one presented here is a case of a 20 year-old unmarried woman operated for recurrent abdominal pain. During laparoscopy we found a mass 2 × 1.5 cm in size in the ileum, located 80 cm from the ileocecal valve: the lesion was resected and an ileoileal anastomosis was performed, the anatomopathological examination of the mass proved to be ovarian tissue. The history of previous pelvic surgery with adhesiolysis, and the unusual location of the ectopic ovary, support the theory of an ovarian implant in the intestine, but the true ectopic ovary hypothesis is still probable because of the location of the ectopic ovary inside the intestinal wall. In any case, the location of ectopic ovary discussed here is unusual and perhaps unpublished before. Full article
