What is Retained Foreign Body Case?

I’m often asked, what is a retained foreign body case? And that’s when a doctor will leave a sponge or instrument behind in the course of surgical procedure and as a result of that deviation, consequences occur to you as a patient. There may be a delay in realizing that the sponge count is wrong and there are lap pad was left in you during the course of a procedure or that an instrument was left behind, and the longer a retained body is in your body, that can surely lead to significant injuries. If you have that type of a case, please call my firm, we can discuss the circumstances of your case.
