Rectal injuries are caused by a variety of causes, such as stab wounds, gunshot injuries, blunt trauma, and foreign bodies. In particular, extraperitoneal rectal injury secondary to blunt trauma is very rare in the civilian setting and usually seen in association with comminuted fractures of the pelvis or sacrum and evidence of intraperitoneal injury.[1] The management of extraperitoneal rectal injury is treated either surgically or conservatively depending on the level and extent of the injury.[2] Currently, management of less severe extraperitoneal rectal injury is not standardized, but primary closure of the wound should be performed whenever possible. Therefore, we present a patient with a laceration of the midrectum secondary to blunt trauma who was successfully treated with endoscopic hemoclipping.
