Textiloma following caesarean section –A dreaded complication
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract: Here we discuss the case of an abdominal textiloma in a 29-year old lady who underwent a caesarean section at another hospital. She presented to the triage with fever, persistent abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass, 3 weeks after her caesarean. Ultrasonography of the abdomen revealeda retained sponge in the abdominal cavity. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a surgical mop surrounded by purulent material. The post-operative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the 14th post-operative day after suture removal. Keywords: Textilomaa .k.a gauzeoma, Ultrasonography, laparotomy.
