“…Only in one patient they converted to open surgery due to intense adhesion of foreign body to the stomach wall. At the end of the study they concluded that laparoscopy can be safely implemented in small, encapsulated sponge without complication [ 16 ].

Gossypiboma is defined as a mass caused by foreign body reaction developed around the retained surgical item in the operative area. When diagnosed, it should be removed in symptomatic patients. Minimal invasive surgery should be planned for the removal of the retained item. The number of cases treated by laparoscopic approach is rare in the literature. We present a case of forty-year-old woman referred to emergency room with acute abdomen diagnosed as gossypiboma and treated successfully with laparoscopic surgery.

Textiloma is the inadvertent retention of a textile foreign body on the surgical site. It is a rare complication of surgery but which carries severe consequences for both patients and surgeons in terms of morbi-mortality and medico-legal procedures respectively. We herein report the case of an abdominal textiloma in a 42 year old woman who underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy for symptomatic leiomyomas. We also depict the errors that led to this mishap in a tertiary hospital in Yaounde (Cameroon). The textiloma was recognized six weeks after the causative surgery and removed by laparotomy without further complications.

“…6 RSM is a serious medical problem, which, despite its rare reporting, must be handled as potential differential diagnoses for patients presenting after abdominal surgery with nonspecific abdominal issues. 1,[7][8][9] Primary aim of this case report is therefore, even though standardized procedures and checklist should minimize the risk for RSM, to remind surgeons of Gossypiboma as potential reason for patients presenting with surgical complications.…”
