It is shocking to hear that surgical gauze was found in the stomach of a woman who suffered from abdominal pain for three years.

According to local media such as Jimu News, a netizen living in Jiangsu Province, China, said a piece of gauze was found in his mother's stomach and removed it.

He disclosed photos and hospital bed records, saying his mother underwent surgery including 'abdominal foreign body removal' at a hospital in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, on December 15, 2023.



The record paper reads 'Some of the gauze fragments were removed from the left ovarian cyst after the previous surgery'.

His mother reportedly underwent surgery to remove a tubular cyst at another hospital in 2020 at the age of 43 and later suffered from abdominal pain and gynecological disease.



He stressed that "This caused my mother to have difficulties in her daily life and suffered severe mental anxiety and depression."

The woman, who had severe abdominal pain and was unable to move, underwent an ultrasound examination at a hospital in 2023 and a foreign body suspected of being a tumor was found in her abdomen.



The medical staff removed the gauze pieces through surgery. Because of gauze, the surrounding tissue, colon, and uterus were severely decomposed and infected. As a result, the medical staff had to remove the tissue and remove a fallopian tube.

He said "This medical accident occurred, and not only the medical staff who performed the surgery at the time, but also the hospital is avoiding responsibility."He urged the authorities to launch an investigation.

Netizens, meanwhile, are wondering why it's being released so late", Reactions such as "'If you did something wrong, make a reasonable compensation and apologize' and "'I doubt it was manipulated.'"
