ABSTRACT

Introduction: there is a common and standardized practice that dressings and gauzes contains radiopaque material, easily identifiable by means of x-rays use. When these markers are identified in radiological postoperative projections, should be assumed that a retention of one of these fabrics exists.
Material and methods: The presence of the radiopaque material in external-use cure material is occasionally identified.
Conclusion: AP and lateral projections would facilitate the immediate localization of any material type and/or surgical cure material. The expedite identification of material misplaced inside the body will allow to avoid complications related to its presence.
