INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Gossypiboma is defined as developing an exudative inflammatory process around retained foreign bodies (RFBs). This problem may be asymptomatic or present with severe systemic or regional symptoms. Traditionally, every RFB must be removed with a surgical procedure. In the era of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic removal is a good choice for these problems. CASE PRESENTATION: A young woman was referred to us with intermittent vague abdominal pain and a history of open cholecystectomy. After initial imaging, we found a twisted string-like object in epigastrium. Considering clinical findings and imaging, the patient was taken to the operating room with a diagnosis of RFB. After an explorative laparoscopy, we found an encapsulated fibrotic mass around a surgical sponge with pus-like secretions. CONCLUSION: After diagnosing either RFB or gossypiboma, surgical intervention is mandatory, even in asymptomatic patients. Laparoscopy can help the surgeon to remove the retained item safely. Also, decreased length of stay and postoperative pain are significant advantages of laparoscopic removal.
