“…These events are most frequently reported after laparotomy and are extremely rare after thoracic surgery [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Nonetheless, it can occur as a primary event after thoracic surgery or as a migration of a foreign body through the diaphragm into the thorax.…”

During any surgical procedure, complications may arise, some of which are fortuitous, whereas others, unfortunately, occur because of errors of the surgical team. Fortunately, most are minor and do not affect the patient’s recovery, but others can cause severe morbidity and even mortality. A retained cotton or gauze surgical sponge inadvertently left in the body during an operation is known as a gossypiboma. This dreadful oversight is a marked complication that can cause serious postoperative complications, a severe economic burden on the healthcare system, and many medicolegal implications. We report the case of a 30-year-old male, who suffered a spinal fracture which was repaired through an anterior fixation approach 12 years ago in a local state hospital without complications. Suddenly, he presented with chest pain and cough, and sought medical attention. An 8 × 5 × 8 cm low-density heterogeneous mass was discovered on his chest; after successful surgery, a gossypiboma formed by several gauzes without radiopaque markers was discovered.

After surgery for intradural lesions, dural reconstruction is essential for preventing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, which can cause serious complications. However, there is currently no established intraoperative procedure. While hydrophobic polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets and fibrin glue are effective for dural reconstruction, the usefulness of hydrophilic artificial dura mater made of a porous collagen matrix has also been reported. This study aimed to compare the ability of a fibrin-coated porous collagen matrix and a fibrin-coated PGA sheet to prevent CSF leakage during spinal surgery. This study included 319 patients who underwent surgery for intradural lesions requiring dural reconstruction. Patients in the PGA sheet group (group P) and the porous collagen matrix group (group C) were compared. The median age was 60 years. A total of 319 patients were included, with 219 in Group P and 100 in Group C. CSF leakage occurred in 11 patients (5.0%) in Group P and 0 patients in Group C ( P < 0.05). This is the first report showing the superiority of a porous collagen matrix sheet over a PGA sheet in preventing CSF leakage during spinal surgery. The porous collagen matrix is hydrophilic and may be more effective against CSF leakage than hydrophobic PGA sheets.

Cardiovascular diseases have been the leading cause of global mortality and disability. In addition to traditional drug and surgical treatment, more and more studies investigate tissue engineering therapeutic strategies in cardiovascular medicine. Collagen interweaves in the form of trimeric chains to form the physiological network framework of the extracellular matrix of cardiac and vascular cells, possessing excellent biological properties (such as low immunogenicity and good biocompatibility) and adjustable mechanical properties, which renders it a vital tissue engineering biomaterial for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In recent years, promising advances have been made in the application of collagen materials in blood vessel prostheses, injectable cardiac hydrogels, cardiac patches, and hemostatic materials, although their clinical translation still faces some obstacles. Thus, we reviewed these findings and systematically summarizes the application progress as well as problems of clinical translation of collagen biomaterials in the cardiovascular field. The present review contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the application of collagen biomaterials in cardiovascular medicine. Graphical abstract
