Northampton Hospital: Bung left in gynaecological patient Surgical staff left medical equipment in a patient undergoing a hysterectomy at a hospital in Northamptonshire.
The bung was left in place after the procedure at Northampton General Hospital.
A report which went before the hospital's public trust board said the patient was discharged home and the bung fell out four days later.
The hospital has apologised for the incident and said it had learned from the error.
It was one of two "never events" to happen at the hospital in Cliftonville in 2016. BBC Northampton
