1 Introduction A gossypiboma, also known as a retained surgical sponge, refers to a mass of cotton material (such as gauze) accidentally left inside the body following surgery. The term “gossypiboma” originates from the Latin word “gossypium,” which refers to cotton, and the Swahili word “boma,” denoting a place where something is hidden [1].
