ABSTRACT
Swabs and instruments are liable to be missed during an operation despite every precaution. Missed swabs commonly produce symptoms by setting up local infection due to disintegration of cotton; however, missed surgical instruments which are sterile and inert rarely produce infection, and may remain a symptomatic for years. A review of the clinical and medicolegal aspects is made, with a review of the literature
