dc.description.abstract Omiterea accidentală a corpilor străini de natură textilă în cavitatea abdominală după laparotomie reprezintă o eroare medicală gravă, care are o incidenţă reală necunoscută şi poate duce la complicaţii severe. Prezentăm cazul unei femei de 24 de ani la care meşa chirurgicală a migrat în lumenul jejunului şi a provocat ocluzie intestinală. Înlăturarea corpului străin a necesitat laparotomie repetată şi rezecţie segmentară a ansei intestinale afectate. Lucrarea prezintă şi analiza rezultatelor investigaţiilor imagistice, precum şi examinarea posibilelor motive care au dus la lăsarea neintenţionată a corpului străin. Reducerea fiabilă a incidenţei şi a severităţii consecinţelor după reţinerea obiectelor chirurgicale textile în abdomen poate fi realizată numai prin îmbunătăţirea standardelor de siguranţă a pacientului, inclusiv numărarea minuţioasă a meşelor şi utilizarea de rutină a materialelor cu markeri radiopaci. en_US
dc.description.abstract Unintentionally retained textile foreign bodies in the abdomen after laparotomy is a serious medical error, with unknown incidence which can lead to severe complications. We present the case of a 24-year-old woman with a retained surgical sponge migrated into the jejunal lumen and causing an intestinal obstruction. Removal of the foreign body required repeated laparotomy and segmental resection of the affected intestinal loop. The article provides the analysis of the imaging diagnostic results, as well as possible reasons that led to the foreign body being left unintentionally. Reliable reduction of incidence and severity of consequences after retention of textile surgical objects in the abdomen can only be achieved through improved standards of patient safety, including careful sponge counting and the routine use of materials with radiopaque markers. en_US
