Retained surgical sponges, needles and instruments
INTRODUCTION Retained sponges and instruments (RSI) due to surgery are a recognised medical 'never event' and have catastrophic implications for patients, healthcare professionals and medical care providers. The aim of this review was to elucidate the extent of the problem of RSI and to identify preventative strategies. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed on MEDLINE(®), Em...
متن کاملSurgical sponges: a cause of granuloma and adhesion formation.
DEPENDING on anatomical locations, foreign body granulomas as sequellae of surgical operations are of varying clinical importance. Many substances have been recognized as etiological agents. Lycopodium and talcum powder are no longer used as glove lubricants in hospitals, and are seldom seen in surgical specimens by the pathologist. Since Lee and Lehman 5 first reported the use of non-irritatin...
متن کاملRetained surgical sponges after craniotomies: imaging appearances and complications.
Imaging within 24 to 48 hours after most neurosurgical procedures is a routine practice. Nonresorbable surgical sponges have radiopaque filaments readily visible on CT scans and plain film radiographs. However, the proton-poor barium sulfate responsible for this radio-opacity is generally not detectable on MR imaging in the immediate post-operative period. Findings on MR imaging become more evi...

reference taxon for studying metazoan origins. Like a living time capsule, they may allow us to infer the genome content and cell biology of the unicellular progenitors of Metazoa. For example, comparing choanoflagellate and metazoan genomes will reveal the minimal genetic toolkit of the first metazoan. Pilot studies of choanoflagellate expressed genes have already uncovered homologs of a remar...
متن کاملSuper sponges.
The localisation of tumour deposits by a 131 1 labelled monoclonal antibody to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has been evaluated in 24 patients with primary gastric, oesophageal and colorectal cancer and in 26 patients with clinically suspected recurrent gastric and colorectal cancer. Seventeen of 20 primary sites and 6/15 associated secondary sites were correctly identified by external scannin...
