About 50% will become symptomatic in the form of erosion into the bowel or vessels, fistulae, abscesses, obstruction, bleeding, or chronic pain. Expeditious removal is recommended.

RADIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF RETAINED SURGICAL SPONGES
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1955As long as nonabsorbable materials are used in the manufacture of surgical gauze, the specter of the retained sponge or laparotomy pack will continue to be a nightmare to the practicing surgeon.

EROSION OF RETAINED SURGICAL SPONGES INTO THE INTESTINE
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1966Retained surgical sponges are identifiable by radiopaque markers, and, when lost, can be expeditiously located by roentgen examination. However, by a rare chain of circumstances, sponges may be left in the peritoneum unwittingly only to make their presence known weeks or years later.
