lüll Left behind: unintentionally retained surgically placed foreign bodies and how to reduce their incidence--pictorial review Whang G; Mogel GT; Tsai J; Palmer SLAJR Am J Roentgenol 2009[Dec]; 193 (6 Suppl): S79-89OBJECTIVE: Unintentionally retained surgically placed foreign bodies have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality, as well as increased costs and medicolegal consequences. This article reviews some of the most commonly retained surgical devices and provides a structured approach to intraoperative image acquisition and interpretation. By increasing the awareness of surgically placed foreign bodies, our goal is to reduce the incidence of and the complications associated with this difficult clinical problem. CONCLUSION: Despite various systems and safeguards available, unintentionally retained surgically placed foreign bodies remain difficult to eliminate completely. Developing a standardized approach to the request, "intraoperative film, rule out foreign body," is essential to reduce the adverse outcomes associated with this problem.|*Surgical Instruments[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Aged, 80 and over[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Foreign Bodies/*diagnostic imaging/epidemiology/*prevention & control[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Incidence[MESH]|Magnetic Resonance Imaging[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Radiography, Abdominal[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed[MESH] |
