Abstract

 Surgical instruments and materials continue to be retained in the peritoneal cavity despite precautionary measures. Even though uncommon it is also underreported and carries serious medico legal consequences. Gauzes and sponges are the most commonly retained materials and intra abdominal retained artery forceps are much rarer but when they do occur lead to chronic abdominal pain and can be a rare cause of intestinal obstruction or strangulation with significant morbidity and mortality. The retained large artery forceps during a caesarian delivery is never reported before in literature searched.   

Keywords: Retained Intra-Abdominal Artery Forceps; Post Caesarian Intestinal Obstruction.
