Erroneous Surgeries: Two Case Reports of Gossypiboma in Tertiary Care Hospital

Case Report of Gossypiboma

Abstract

A surgical sponge or other relatable substance that remains inside the patient's body after surgery is referred to as a "gossypiboma." One of the rarest but most inexplicable surgical side effects is gossypiboma. Gossypiboma is rare because of the regulatory procedures regarding patient entitlement and the lack of medical information for patients. Complications include abscess formation, bowel obstruction, perforation and sepsis. This case series means to report two instances of gossypiboma in ladies who went through routine obstetrical procedures.
