Abdominal Sponge

Abdominal Sponge -a flat sponge that was once used as packing during surgery to prevent viscera from obstructing or closing the wound, as a covering to protect the wound from tissue damage, and as absorbent. The absorbable laparoscopic cigarette sponge is a considerable advancement over earlier versions of similar devices. It can be used to retract, dissect, and control small regions of haemorrhage in a manner similar to how a sponge is used in open surgery, making laparoscopy safer and more accurate.
Gossypiboma is a term for a retained surgical sponge or swab that is derived from the Latin words Gossypium (cotton) and boma (Swahili, place of concealment).
