Gossypiboma—Retained Surgical Sponge
Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2007 Intra-abdominal retained surgical sponge is an uncommon surgical error. Herein, we report a 92-year-old woman who was brought to the emergency room for acute urinary retention. She had a history of vaginal hysterectomy for uterine prolapse 18 years previously, performed at our hospital.

Retained surgical sponge: diagnosis with CT and sonography [PDF]
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1988 The diagnosis of a retained surgical sponge was made by CT and sonography in four patients. The plain abdominal radiograph was normal in all cases. In each of four cases of gauze granuloma, CT showed a well-defined round mass with a thick wall; internal heterogeneous densities with a wavy, striped, and/or spotted appearance; mottled calcifications; and
