[Gossypibomas in neurosurgery].

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:The term «gossypiboma» comes from the Latin gossypium, which refers to a genus of cotton plants, and from the Swahili word boma, which translates as «place of concealment». It may be mistaken for tumorous lesions or abscesses due to the way it is encapsulated, as evidenced in imaging examinations, and its variable and non-specific clinical features, which give rise to difficulty in its diagnosis and significant morbidity. AIM:To synthesise the available evidence on the presence of gossypibomas during neurosurgical procedures. DEVELOPMENT:A review was performed that included a search for articles in English and Spanish published in the last 15 years in PubMed, Ebsco Host, Embase, Mediclatina, Cochrane, Lilacs and Scopus, between January and June 2019, using the keywords «gossypiboma», «textiloma», «neurosurgery» and «neurosurgical procedures». In all, a total of 630 articles were found in the search, although, after selecting them by title and abstract, 22 case report articles were included for this review process. Altogether 36 individuals were identified, of whom 21 (58.3%) were women, and whose mean age was 56.1 years. Surgical sponges were observed as gossypibomas in 20 cases (55.6%). CONCLUSIONS:Gossypiboma is a complication secondary to surgical procedures that presents fairly unspecific signs and symptoms. The time that elapses before it appears usually ranges from a few days to several years after surgery and is correlated with multiple medical and legal implications. TITLE:Gossypibomas en neurocirugía. :Introducción. El término «gossypiboma» proviene del latín gossypium, que hace referencia a un género de plantas de algodón, y de la palabra kiswahili boma, que se traduce como «lugar de escondite». Puede confundirse con lesiones tumorales o abscesos debido a la forma de encapsulación evidenciada en los exámenes imaginológicos y su clínica variable e inespecífica, situación que genera dificultad para el diagnóstico y una morbilidad importante. Objetivo. Sintetizar la evidencia disponible sobre la presencia de gossypibomas durante la realización de procedimientos quirúrgicos en neurocirugía. Desarrollo. Se realizó una revisión en la cual se incluyó una búsqueda de artículos en inglés y castellano publicados en los últimos 15 años en PubMed, Ebsco Host, Embase, Mediclatina, Cochrane, Lilacs y Scopus, entre enero y junio de 2019, utilizando las palabras clave «gossypiboma», «textiloma», «neurosurgery» y «neurosurgical procedures». El total de artículos encontrados en la búsqueda fue de 630; sin embargo, tras la selección por título y resumen fueron 22 los artículos de informe de caso que se incluyeron. Se identificó a un total de 36 individuos, de los cuales 21 (58,3%) eran mujeres, y cuya edad media era de 56,1 años. En 20 casos (55,6%) se observaron esponjas quirúrgicas como gossypibomas. Conclusiones. El gossypiboma es una complicación secundaria a procedimientos quirúrgicos, con signos y síntomas bastante inespecíficos. Su tiempo de aparición suele oscilar entre unos cuantos días hasta varios años después de realizada la cirugía y se correlaciona con múltiples implicaciones médicas y legales.
