Abstract

This report describes the retained surgical gauze in two dogs that had ovariohysterectomy previously. The elapsed time between surgery and diagnosis of retained surgical gauze in two dogs was 30 and 16 months, respectively. Radiographic signs included localized abdominal mass (case 1, 2) and soft tissue swelling (case 2). Retained surgical gauze was imaged by survey radiography, ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT). Ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic mass with irregular hyperechoic center in case 1, and hypoechoic mass with oval hyperechoic center and acoustic shadowing in case 2. In CT examination of case 2, hyperdense mass with a thick peripheral rim enhancing in contrast study was shown. Cytologic examination of both cases revealed abscess and granuloma respectively. The lesions were surgically removed. The possibility of retained surgical gauze should be considered in animals with a history of previous surgery with abnormal mass.

난소자궁적출술을 실시한 두 마리의 개가 복부 팽만을 주증상으로 내원하였다. 첫 번째 환자는 복부 방사선 검사 결과 복강내 종괴를 확인하였고 초음파 검사 결과 중앙 부위에 불규칙한 영상의 고에코성의 물질을 포함하는 저에코성의 종괴를 관찰하였다. 이어진 세침흡인술 결과 다량의 염증세포를 확인하여 농양으로 잠정진단 후, 외과적 수술하여 복강내 잔존한 거즈에 의한 농양으로 확정 진단하였다. 두 번째 환자는 복부 방사선 검사로 복강내 종괴와 연부조직의 종창을 확인하여 이어진 초음파 검사 결과 타원형의 균질한 고에코를 띠는 종괴를 포함하는 저에코성의 종괴를 관찰하였다. 컴퓨터단층촬영술을 통해 종괴의 둘레로 조영증강효과가 있음을 확인하였고 이어진 세침흡인술 결과, 다량의 염증세포 및 육아종성 세포를 확인하였다. 이에 육아종으로 잠정진단 내린 후, 외과적 수술 결과 복강내 잔존한 거즈에 의한 육아종으로 확정 진단하였다.
