Abstract

Uterine perforation and displacement of intrauterine device (IUD) are the most serious complications associated with insertion of that. An IUD may perforate through the uterine wall into the pelvic or abdominal cavity or into adjacent organs. We experienced a case of displacement of IUD into abdominal cavity by uterine perforation in early normal pregnancy and removed an IUD with laparoscopy. So we report one case with a brief review of the literature.
