ABSTRACT

Introducción: El hallazgo de un cuerpo extraño retenido, específicamente una hoja de cuchillo es infrecuente. En ocasiones, estos cuerpos extraños pasan inadvertidos y se diagnostican de forma diferida o retrasada. Objetivo: Describir el diagnóstico y tratamiento de un paciente con una hoja de cuchillo retenida en el hueco de la axila. Caso clínico: Varón de 25 años, agredido con un cuchillo, que sufrió una herida en la región posterior del hombro y fue suturado sin realizar ningún examen complementario. Dos semanas después acudió por molestias en el hombro lesionado, se indicó radiografía en la cual apareció una imagen radiopaca que correspondió con una hoja de cuchillo en proyección subescapular. Refería molestias del hombro e impotencia funcional. Se opera con anestesia general, se realiza incisión axilar, se identifica el objeto, en íntimo contacto con la vena axilar; la punta hacia el vértice axilar, cruzando bajo la vena axilar en su entrada al tórax. Se extrajo el cuerpo extraño bajo visión directa, sin complicaciones. El paciente evolucionó favorablemente. Conclusiones: Los cuerpos extraños retenidos, que pasan inadvertidos son raros, sin embargo, existen regiones como la axila en que por las características anatómicas del espacio se dificulta su diagnóstico. En este caso coincidió una combinación poco usual de fenómenos, la actitud defensiva del lesionado y la dirección de la herida, que propiciaron quedara la hoja en el hueco axilar.


Introduction: The finding of a retained foreign body, specifically a knife blade, is a rare event. Sometimes these foreign bodies go unnoticed and are diagnosed deferred or delayed. Objective: To describe the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with a knife blade retained on axillary hole. Clinical case: 25-year-old male, attacked with a knife, who suffered a wound in the posterior region of the shoulder and was sutured without performing any complementary examination. Two weeks later, he came due to discomfort from the injured shoulder. An X-ray of the shoulder was indicated, where a radiopaque image appeared that corresponds to the knife blade, in subscapular projection. He refers shoulder discomfort and functional impotence. It is operated under general anesthesia, axillary incision, the object is identified in intimate contact with the axillary vein, the tip towards the axillary vertex, crossing under the axillary vein at its entrance to the thorax, the foreign body is removed under direct vision and without complications. Evolved favorably. Conclusions: Retained foreign bodies that go unnoticed are rare. However, there are regions such as the armpit where, due to the anatomical characteristics of the space, their diagnosis is difficult. In this case, an unusual combination of phenomena coincided, the defensive attitude of the injured person and the direction of the lunge, which led to the blade remaining in the axillary hole.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: O termo gossipiboma refere-se à matriz que contém material têxtil e à reação tecidual formada ao redor deste corpo estranho. As gazes e as compressas cirúrgicas são os materiais mais frequentemente retidos após laparotomias. OBJETIVO: Estudar a incidência e as causas de gossipiboma abdominal, além das medidas preventivas para reduzir a sua frequência e morbimortalidade. MÉTODO: Foi realizada revisão da literatura na língua inglesa no Medline / Pubmed. A pesquisa envolveu os últimos 10 anos, selecionando os seguintes descritores - gossipiboma, textiloma, corpo estranho retido e cirurgia abdominal.Trinta artigos foram considerados para a revisão. RESULTADOS: A incidência é subestimada, principalmente pelas implicações legais decorrentes de tal achado, mas também porque muitos pacientes permanecem assintomáticos. Ocorrem em 1/1000 a 1/1500 operações abdominais. A apresentação clínica é variável e depende da localização do corpo estranho e do tipo de reação inflamatória apresentado pelo hospedeiro. A migração transmural é rara. O tratamento recomendado é a excisão, realizado por via endoscópica, laparoscópica ou por laparotomia, com o objetivo de evitar as complicações que podem atingir alta mortalidade. A abordagem mais importante é a prevenção. As medidas preventivas incluem o uso de material têxtil com marcadores radiopacos, exploração detalhada da cavidade abdominal ao final do procedimento operatório e contagem meticulosa do material cirúrgico. CONCLUSÃO: Gossipiboma é problema médico-legal antigo, cuja incidência aparentemente está aumentando e que precisa ser reabordado para que medidas preventivas efetivas sejam adotadas na sala de operação.


INTRODUCTION: The term "gossypiboma" refers to a textile matrix surrounded by foreign body reaction. Gauze and surgical dressings are the most commonly retained materials after laparotomy. AIM: To evaluate the incidence of abdominal gossypiboma, its causes and the preventive measures to reduce the frequence and morbimortality. METHOD: Was conducted a literature review in Medline/Pubmed in english. The survey was about the last 10 years, selecting the headings: gossypiboma, textiloma, retained foreign body and abdominal surgery. Thirty articles were considered in this review. RESULTS: The incidence of gossypiboma is underreported, mostly due to the legal implications of their detection but also because many patients remain asymptomatic. Occur in 1/1000 to 1/1500 of intra-abdominal operations. Clinical presentation is variable, and depends on the location of the foreign body and on the type of inflammatory reaction presented by the host. The recommended course of treatment is excision, which can be accomplished endoscopically, laparoscopically, or via the open route, and seeks to prevent the complications that lead to a high mortality rate. The most important approach is prevention. Preventive measures required include exploration of the abdominal cavity at the end of the procedure, use of textiles with radiopaque markers and a meticulous account of surgical materials. CONCLUSION: Gossypiboma is a former medical-legal problem, whose incidence is apparently increasing. Therefore needs to be revised to take preventive measures in the operating room.
