ABSTRACT

The retained surgical compress or textiloma –removed surgical material after abdominal surgery– is the result of a rare and avoidable surgical error, represents a serious problem and causes a wide variety of clinical symptoms included serious complications that can lead to death. We present a male 41-year-old patient who presented for abdominal pain syndrome, from subacute to chronic, with a surgical history 3 years previously. During the laparotomy, an intraluminal mass of approximately 30 cm in length was defined at the jejunal level, which is managed with enterotomy by extracting a compress.
