Article Synopsis
- Gossypiboma is a rare complication where a surgical sponge is left inside a patient after surgery, and diagnosing it can be difficult due to varied symptoms and imaging results.
- The case discussed involves a 72-year-old woman who had a vaginal hysterectomy, leading to the discovery of a retained sponge.
- The diagnosis process used X-rays, ultrasound, CT, and MRI to identify the issue and differentiate it from other conditions, ultimately confirming the gossypiboma through surgery.
