Fig. 12. —CT scan obtained because of fever 8 days after total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy, and debulking of stage III ovarian cancer in 43-year-old woman. Mixed gas, fluid, and soft-tissue density mass (arrows) with appearance similar to bowel are seen in right pelvis, but no communication with bowel could be established on contiguous images (not shown). Review of operative note confirmed absorbable hemostatic sponge (Surgicel; Ethicon, Somerville, NJ) had been used to control bleeding in pelvis. CT-guided aspiration yielded sterile serosanguineous fluid. Mass was considered to represent residual absorbable sponge.
