In a case of medical negligence, doctors of a private hospital left a surgical sponge in a woman’s abdomen after a cesarean section in Bihar’s Vaishali district.
The incident took place in July in Sadar Hospital where one Sulekha Devi was admitted after she developed labor pains. She delivered a healthy baby via C-section but the doctors left a piece of surgical sponge in her abdomen.
“After her delivery on July 14, my wife kept complaining of a stomach ache. Despite several medications, she failed to get any relief. Recently, a doctor of a private hospital asked for an ultrasound and CT scan wherein the sponge was detected,” said Dharmendra Kumar, a resident of Chimnipur locality in Hajipur city.
