Intra-abdominal retained surgical sponge is an uncommon surgical error. Herein, we report a 92-year-old woman who was brought to the emergency room for acute urinary retention. She had a history of vaginal hysterectomy for uterine prolapse 18 years previously, performed at our hospital. Retained surgical sponge in the pelvic cavity was suspected by abdominal computed tomography. The surgical gauze was removed by laparotomy excision and the final diagnosis was gossypiboma.
腹腔内遗留手术海绵是一种罕见的手术失误。在此,我们报告一名92岁女性,因急性尿潴留被送往急诊室。她18年前在我院因子宫脱垂接受了阴道子宫切除术。腹部计算机断层扫描怀疑盆腔内有遗留手术海绵。通过剖腹手术切除取出了手术纱布,最终诊断为医用海绵瘤。
