Although rare, postoperatively retained foreign bodies in the abdominal cavity still represent a serious issue for the surgical team as for the patients. Its clinical manifestation is often unspecific and the cases are therefore only irregularly registered. There are several known factors that increase the risk of retention of a foreign body, for example emergency surgeries, unplanned changes in procedure or a high body mass index. In this article, we would like to report the case of a male patient with a foreign body in the right lower quadrant after open appendectomy mimicking a tumor.
尽管腹腔内术后遗留异物的情况较为罕见,但对手术团队和患者来说仍是一个严重问题。其临床表现通常不具特异性,因此此类病例只是不定期登记。有几个已知因素会增加异物遗留的风险,例如急诊手术、手术计划外变更或高体重指数。在本文中,我们想报告一例男性患者的病例,该患者在开腹阑尾切除术后右下腹有一异物,形似肿瘤。
