I want to know what would happen if gauze strips were left inside of you by accident. Would it cause abcessces to form? I had my apendix removed. Got a staph infection in the wound had to use these strips that we would put into the wound and pull out. The only thing was it was like they would shorten and leave some inside of me. 2 years later about I had abcecceses. There were alot of them they had been there for a long long time. I know the infection was gone so that wasnt the cause of these abcesses that I know of. One of my theories is that it was the left overs of those gauze strips that might have caused it.
