Abstract
Intraluminal textiloma is caused by the retention of surgical textile material in the digestive tract (compress, drape). Textiloma is found intraluminally due to an inflammatory process that causes necrosis and progressive passage of the material through the digestive tract wall. It can be found anywhere along the digestive tract, from the stomach to the colon. The symptoms are not very specific and vary from transit disorders to intestinal obstruction. Morphological examination is frequently used to make a diagnosis. The treatment depends on the locasation and consists of textiloma extraction. We present two (2) clinical aspects of postoperative digestive intraluminal migration of an abdominal field following digestive surgery in this study. The extremely rare nature of these two cases, as well as the diagnostic errors and management methods of this postoperative complication, prompt us to discuss them.
