“…The symptoms caused by IUD-induced bladder perforation include dysuria, frequency of micturition, paroxysmal hematuria, lower abdominal pain and a feeling of heaviness over the bladder [1]. The most common findings include microscopic hematuria with or without pyuria and a positive bacterial urinary culture [1].…”

“…The most common findings include microscopic hematuria with or without pyuria and a positive bacterial urinary culture [1]. If the IUD or a part of it is retained for a long time in the bladder, it may act as a nucleus for urinary stone formation [3][4][5].…”

“…The most common complications of IUD use are bleeding, pain and expulsion, while perforation of the urinary bladder wall is exceedingly uncommon. Thus far, only about ten cases of bladder perforation by an IUD have been described in the literature [1][2][3], and none of these instances has been associated with second-generation IUDs.…”

Bladder perforation: uncommon complication with a misplaced IUD

We report a unique case of uterine and bladder perforation by a copper intrauterine device (Nova-T). The patient presented with recurrent cystitis, which led to cystoscopy, where the horizontal arm of the IUD was seen intravesically. The IUD was removed vaginally by pulling the locator strings. The patient recovered without complications. The case shows that the new, second-generation IUDs may also cause bladder perforation.

“…Persistent urinary tract infection is common presentation in case of intravesical IUCD 14,15 . Detection of intravesical IUCD by cystoscopy can be very helpful and facilitates the removal of the IUCD 16 . All migrated IUCD's must be removed.…”

Migration of Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) following uterine perforation is not common, but of utmost concern. We present a case of migration of IUCD into the peritoneum after perforating the uterus and adhered to bowel and bladder. A 23 years old lady presented with early pregnancy with IUCD insitu, on examination diagnosed to be misplaced copper T, laprotomy performed to recover the copper T which had embedded into the serosa of the bladder and bowel.

“…Perforation by IUD can also involve several adjacent organs such as the bladder [6] and, in particular, the intestinal tract, frequently resulting in serious septic complications [3]. The sigmoid colon represents the most frequent site of IUD migration in the intestinal tract [1,[7][8][9][10], but other sites can be also affected, such as the appendix [3,11] and the small intestine [12].…”

Combined laparoscopic-colonoscopic approach for the removal of a migrated intrauterine contraceptive device penetrating the sigmoid colon

Uterine perforation is a rare but potentially lifethreatening complication associated with the use of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs). Following perforation, the IUD can migrate to the peritoneal cavity or even perforate several adjacent organs. Migration to the sigmoid colon is extremely rare. We present the case of a 28-year-old woman who had an IUD inserted soon after delivery. The patient again became pregnant, but no IUD could be detected in routine examinations. After an asymptomatic interval of 3 years, the patient suffered acute abdominal pain. Initial laparoscopy elsewhere revealed the IUD attached to the sigmoid colon, but extraction was not possible. The patient was referred to us for further treatment. Under general anesthesia, laparoscopic exploration of the abdomen was performed. The IUD had perforated the sigmoid colon and was firmly fixed. In order not to injure the sigmoid colon, laparoscopic mobilization of the IUD was assisted with a "rendez-vous" sigmoidoscopy. The IUD was removed transanally with laparoscopic and sigmoidoscopic assistance, and the patient was discharged within 24 h after the operation. Insertion of an IUD necessitates regular checks to confirm the device's correct position. Migration of an IUD warrants prompt laparoscopic removal, even in asymptomatic patients.
