    Summary

    Surgical sponges or meshes left in patients, known as textilomas, can be diagnosed using medical imaging. Radiology, including X-rays and ultrasounds, is key for identifying these retained surgical items.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Retained surgical items, such as sponges or meshes, can occur despite precautions.
    • Textiloma is the term used for these foreign bodies, primarily diagnosed within a hospital setting.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the radio-semiological features of textilomas.
    • To propose an examination algorithm for diagnosing textilomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of two clinical cases with textilomas.
    • Emphasis on radiological and medical imaging findings.
    • Discussion of diagnostic imaging modalities.

    Main Results:

    • Textilomas are identifiable through various radiological methods.
    • Plain abdominal X-rays and ultrasonography are often sufficient for diagnosis.
    • Computed tomography may be necessary in complex cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiology is essential for the diagnosis of textilomas.
    • An established examination algorithm can aid in the timely identification of retained surgical items.
