  • retention of nonabsorbable hemostatic materials retained Surgical Sponge gossypiboma textiloma gauzoma muslinoma after spinal surgery a systematic review of cases reported during the last half century
    World Neurosurgery, 2018
    Co-Authors: Mehmet Turgut, Ali Akhaddar, Ahmet Tuncay Turgut
    Abstract:

    Objective Retention of nonabsorbable hemostatic materials (RNHMs), that is, retained Surgical Sponge, gauzoma, gossypiboma, muslinoma, or textiloma, is a rarely seen Surgical complication after spinal surgery that may remain asymptomatic for many years and may represent a diagnostic difficulty with associated medicolegal implications. Methods We performed a systematic review of the English-language literature published between 1965 and 2017, accessed through 4 popular databases. We found a total of 37 articles (24 case reports; 7 image presentations; 5 clinical series, and 1 letter to editor) containing 58 cases of RNHMs located within the spinal canal or around the spinal column after surgery. Results In this study, there were 29 female and 29 male patients from 13 countries, ages ranging from 17 years to 87 years, with initial diagnoses of lumbar or cervical disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis (n = 54), or spinal tumor (n = 4). The interval from the initial surgery to the presentation of RNHMs ranged from 13 days to 40 years, with a mean of 75.9 months. Various imaging techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were used with histologic study, confirming the presence of RNHMs in the majority of patients with a complete recovery resulting in 93% of patients. Conclusions RNHMs is an overreported entity in underdeveloped or developing countries, including Turkey and Morocco, with progression occurring over years. RNHMs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any patient who presents with back pain, spinal cord, or nerve roots symptomatology after spinal surgery.

  • Retained Surgical Sponge in differential diagnosis of paraspinal soft-tissue mass after posterior spinal surgery: report of eight cases.
    Neurology India, 2009
    Co-Authors: Cem Atabey, Mehmet Turgut, Ahmet Turan Ilica
    Abstract:

    Background: In the postoperative period of posterior spinal surgery, surgeons usually encounter a wide spectrum of complications, including retained Surgical Sponge, gossypiboma. Materials and Methods: Retrospective review of case records of eight patients diagnosed with gossypiboma with emphasis on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Results: All the eight patients presented with low back pain and/or symptoms of infection, such as draining from the incision site, fever, and tenderness. The diagnosis was confirmed by the imaging findings on MRI with gadolinium enhancement. Conclusion: Retained paravertebral Surgical Sponges are seldom reported due to medicolegal implications. Awareness of this complication among neurosurgeons and radiologists is essential to avoid unnecessary morbidity.

  • Transmigration of a retained Surgical Sponge: a case report
    Patient safety in surgery, 2018
    Co-Authors: Tushar Patial, Namit Rathore, Angesh Thakur, Digvijay Thakur, Kanika Sharma
    Abstract:

    A retained Surgical Sponge remains a dreaded complication of modern surgery. Despite the increasing focus on patient safety instances of “a Sponge being left in the abdomen”, are all too common in popular media. In this article we report the rare phenomenon of transmigration of a retained Surgical Sponge in a patient who underwent laparoscopic sterilization. A 30-year-old female presented with progressive abdominal pain for about one month and vomiting with obstipation for 2 days. The patient had undergone laparoscopic sterilization 7 years back and then underwent re-canalization one year back. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy for suspected adhesive small bowel obstruction. During surgery, an intra-luminal Surgical Sponge was recovered from the distal small bowel. The patient recovered and was discharged in good health. Despite numerous advances in terms of technology and the ever-growing emphasis on patient safety, the problem of a retained Surgical Sponge remains a dreaded potential complication. All clinicians and health care professionals should be aware of this entity and its various presentations.
