Retained surgical sponge: Medicolegal aspects
Legal Medicine, 2018Retained surgical sponge events continue to occur despite the implementation of preventive surgical count policies, procedures, and adjunct technologies to manual counting. Such intraoperative mistakes can cause chronic nonspecific symptoms during the early postoperative period.

Pseudotumour due to surgical sponge: Gossypiboma
Australasian Radiology, 1997SUMMARYThe plain‐film, ultrasonography and computed tomography findings of retained surgical sponges (gossypibomas) are described in three patients. When a mass with hyperechoic wavy structures and posterior acoustic shadowing is seen on ultrasonography, the history of previous surgery must be questioned.

Radiological Detectability of Surgical Swabs and Sponges
Australasian Radiology, 1982SUMMARY A surgical swab or sponge containing an “x-ray detectable” marker left in a patient after surgery may go undetected on a post-operative radiograph. The conditions influencing detectability and test procedures to establish minimum values of detectability together with a quantitative measure of detectability are described.

WHITE SPONGES AND SURGICAL WOUND ILLUMINATION
Medical Journal of Australia, 1976A study has been made of the effect of glare in the surgeon's field of vision from reflected light associated with white surgical sponges. Reflected light increases by as much as 226% with the use of white sponges. Standardized measurements indicate that this glare reduces visual acuity, darkens colour interpretation and fatigues the surgeon.

Detection of retained surgical sponges.
Radiology, 1983The accuracy of radiographic detection of neurosurgical sponges was measured experimentally. Commercially available sponges were inserted into a cadaver in several paravertebral locations and radiographed. A total of 72 radiographs (90 sponges) were assessed, as well as an equal number of radiographs without sponges.

Migration of Surgical Sponge Into Small Intestine
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1968To the Editor:— The fate of retained foreign bodies after surgical operations is often unrecorded because of an understandable reluctance to publish matters with mediocolegal implications. It is often necessary to consult older publications for the potential behavior of such foreign bodies.

Transmural Migration of Retained Surgical Sponges
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2008Retained surgical sponges have been reported to occur after a diversity of surgical procedures, but transmural migration is a very unusual sequela. This article reports a case in which a retained surgical sponge eroded from the intra-abdominal space into the intestinal lumen, migrated distally, and spontaneously passed with defecation 12 weeks after ...
