Introduction: Despite the important advances made in recent decades in the prevention of adverse events, foreign body abandonments continue to occur in the surgical fi eld (“never events”). Although the retained objects can occur asymptomatically, the potential complications are numerous, requiring in most cases a reoperation for their removal. Case report: We present the exceptional case of a patient who had to be reoperated to remove a surgical drain migrated to an inguinal hernia sac after accidental and inadverted rupture during its removal in the postoperative period of a previous surgery. Discussion: Most of the safety measures and prevention of these adverse events try to guarantee a correct count of surgical material during surgery. Correct actions must also be ensured in the removal of surgical drains to avoid this type of complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
