Abstract

Retained foreign body is a major complication that can occur in early or delayed postoperative period having both clinical as well as medicolegal implications. We hereby report a case of 47-year-old female with retained surgical sponge in abdominal cavity after hysterectomy. Thorough count of all sponges before and after any surgery can aid in avoiding such an undesirable event and preferable use of labelled sponges can help in early diagnosis in such cases.
