Abstract
Gossypiboma (retained surgical sponge) is an iatrogenic complication. It is infrequently reported in literature because of legal implications setting up a vicious cycle of non-anticipation and misdiagnosis. Four cases of vesical gossypiboma following transvesical prostatectomy are presented. Clinical presentation, diagnostic aspects and preventive strategies are discussed.Entities:
