Aim:
Abdominal textiloma is an uncommon postoperative complication which can result in a fistula with luminal migration in the digestive tract. Surgery has been the mainstay method for textiloma removal; however, removal of retained gauze by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is possible avoiding reoperation.
Case Report:
We report a case of an abdominal textiloma in a 38-year-old male, which migrated into the stomach and was extracted by upper endoscopy.
Conclusion:
Endoscopic extraction after a luminal migration of the abdominal textiloma in the digestive tract facilitate its management and could avoid surgery.
