Endoscopic management of a transgastric migrated gossypiboma: A case report

Textiloma, also known as gossypiboma, is a rare but well-documented entity. It involves the omission of surgical material during surgery. Gossypiboma remains a diagnostic dilemma to this day, due to its wide spectrum of clinical symptoms and numerous radiological pitfalls. The recommended treatment for gossypiboma is surgical removal. Endoscopic removal has been performed by some teams and has shown satisfying results. We report the case of a 33-year-old woman with a transgastric migrating gossypiboma, managed by an endoscopic extraction.
