It would depend on the exact circumstances, but I'd imagine that leaving a surgical sponge inside a patient's body would almost certainly constitute medical malpractice.

Is it malpractice if you get burned during surgery?
Consider Malpractice as malicious practice. If someone on the surgical team intentionally burnt the patient, the surgical team was involved in malpractice.

Note: Medicine is one of those rare fields where mistakes can have such serious ramifications that nearly any mistake is considered malicious neglect; the medical community is expected to exercise the highest levels of care at all times.
