When you have only one doctor doing everything, when I had surgery, at General hospital, the doctors were about 3, excluding the anesthetist, what one could not see his colleagues will see it, it was a team work, and I didn't have any further complications to the Glory of God. From the day I decided to have the surgery I refused private hospital, even though it took me months to be booked, it was worth the wait.

BRATISLAVA:


How do they "forget" these things inside a person? It seems it's deliberate so that they will have a repeat patient to take it out. Perhaps money is the motivation.

mostly due to stress. i think, but on d other hand surgery isn't done by one person. there is an assistant, a theatre nurse and other observers(especially in teaching hospitals) a good theatre should have a kinda of check list, d no of sutures, gauzes and other materials used which should also be accounted for at the end of the surgery.same way the estimated blood loss is accounted for and corrected if need be and other care instituted in d post anesthesia care unit.

There's a lot of reasons why this may happen but money is not one as this is a very costly mistake. While hospitals have developed methods to keep track of sponges and other surgical items, in practice, there are several factors that contribute to this issue. This problem is especially likely to occur if the surgery is an emergency procedure, is very long, or has complications arise in the course of it. A sponge soaked in blood is also easily overlooked in a visual inspection.
If its the same hospital responsible for the retaining of the material also carried out the removal there's no billing but if a different hospital the patient may have to pay and will be advised on how to take it up as a medicolegal issue and get compensated and the surgeon responsible for the mistake may be punished.

Don't you think there should be another scan after CS in order for you to check again if you have forgotten foreign objects inside the patient.

I am not a surgeon but I have a friend who is, he was operating on a patient to remove his kidney then he found a laser fiber, a bad surgeon had left it inside during the patient previous surgery.
As a senior Nursing Officer, I have also witness the removal of gauze and small abdominal pad from the abdominal cavity of a lady that previously had a cs, though there was sepsis, she narrowly survived, with third intention healing. That is why the surgeon and the scrub nurse must adhere to ethics by making sure the counting
of pads, gauze sponges and other materials used for the operation must be counted before and after the operation
before closing the cavity of the patient which used to be the norm.

In one of my shifts as a resident a woman once gave birth through CS and after discharge and she was supposed to be healing, her abdominal cavity was swelling up and painful and the area in the abdomen that was stitched was bleeding and pus was coming out. She was rushed in when her hubby felt something was not right and a CT scan was ordered. There in the abdominal cavity were some unusual foreign bodies which in a normal human viscera shouldn't be there. She was put into the theatre for an operation and immediately she was opened up there in the abdominal cavity were two gauze sponges used to soak up the bleeding but retained after the CS with massive antibody-antigen reaction taking place there. It was horrible but thank God she lived she was lucky enough sepsis did not occur
Gross carelessness

FIRST;
I FOUND NAIL and was removed endoscopically.

SECOND was a TOY BEAD impacted at the Tracheoesophageal junction of a CHILD, which led to respiratory embarrassment.

THIRD, was a macerated Gauze Bandage left inadvertently in the peritoneal cavity of a patient who later came down with a high output enterocutaneous (faecal) fistula.
