Abstract

Retained Foreign Object (RFO) is a collective term used to describe any object left unintentionally in the body at the end of the surgical or other interventional procedure. Retained objects such as surgical sponges, gauze pads, or other forms of textile may become source for infection and are often grounds for mal-practice lawsuits. High index of clinical suspicion and appropriate radiological imaging in patients presented with early postoperative obstructive symptoms can help in early diagnosis. We describe a case where a woman presented with the features of small bowel obstruction one week after cesarean section; a retained foreign body was recovered without major morbidity.
