“…GP may lead to clinical situations causing mortality, such as ileus, abscess, fistula, and bowel necrosis. Rarely, GP is able to do transmural migration without creating any defect into the gastrointestinal lumen [ 2 , 3 ]. Laparotomy or endoscopic removal may be required, by the way it can be taken out of the body itself by intestinal ways.…”

Introduction. Gossypiboma (GP) is a term used to express the mass resulting from forgotten cotton sponge in operations. Rarely, a transmural migration may occur into the gastrointestinal lumen without creating any defect by GP. Laparotomy or endoscopic removal may be required, by the way it can be taken out of the body itself by intestinal ways. In this study, we reported a case of mechanical intestinal obstruction causing GP. Case. The fifty-one-year-old female patient admitted to the emergency department with the complaints of mechanical intestinal obstruction and had a history of open cholecystectomy 20 years ago. There were the findings of intestinal obstruction in abdominal plain radiography and computerized tomography. The sponge that obstructed the lumen completely 40 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve was identified in the laparotomy with the diagnosis of brid ileus. The small intestine was closed over double-fold after removal of sponge. Transmural migration of abdominal-remained sponge was thought to be occurred without creating a defect after cholecystectomy. Postoperatively, the patient was discharged without having any problems at 4th day of hospitalization. Conclusion. Although it is a rare situation in routine clinical practice, GP should be considered as a differential diagnosis in the patients who had a diagnosis of mechanical intestinal obstruction, and laparotomy was applied before. As GP may lead to situations which cause mortality, all precautions should be taken to prevent it.

“…Embora tenham sido descritos tratamentos por via laparoscópica [11][12][13][14][15] , endoscópica 16,17 , colonoscópica 18 e, até, por métodos percutâneos 19 , a laparotomia é a principal via empregada para a retirada dos CE, levando a taxas de morbidade e mortalidade que podem chegar a, respectivamente, 80% e 35% [20][21][22][23] . O tratamento não operatório também pode ser aventado, mas apenas em casos de exceção como, por exemplo, quando há indícios de perfuração bloqueada e o CE já está migrando para o lúmen de alguma víscera 24,25 .…”
