Gossypiboma in a 15 year old girl: A Case Report

Author(s) Vivek Viswanathan
Country India
Abstract Gossypiboma, a rare surgical complication, occurs when a surgical sponge is inadvertently left behind in the body, leading to a foreign-body reaction. This case report presents a 15-year-old girl who developed abdominal pain and a palpable mass three years after a laparotomy for excision of a lymphangioma of the abdomen. Radiological imaging confirmed the presence of a retained surgical sponge, which was successfully removed through surgery. This case highlights the importance of meticulous surgical technique and postoperative care to prevent such complications.
