ملخص

A patient who needed surgery for a strangulated obstruction of small bowel was found to have a pair of artery forceps in the peritoneal cavity following surgery for repair of an abdominal wall hernia twelve months before. The six-inch metallic forceps fractured easily on initial manipulation directly after retrieval. This case demonstrates the easy retention of a small surgical instrument in the abdomen, with the rare and serious complication of bowel strangulation, and the sequel of corrosion of a metallic foreign body in a human.
