I have worked in the OR for over fifteen years and have been personally involved with over 50,000 procedures. In that entire time I have only seen two things left in patients. Both patients had sponges left in them during very hectic emergency procedures that involved many people. Both patients did well after another procedure that removed the foreign body. One sued, and the other said "thanks for saving my life" one more time.
