Dr Pujitha Murthi, Dr Shipra Sonkusare
Abstract :
Intrauterine devices are currently one of the most popular reversible contraception methods used worldwide. IUCD is
common method of contraception among women because of its low cost and high efficacy. Though relatively safe, it may
cause dangerous complications like uterine perforation. Perforation of the uterus by an IUCD was first described in 1930 by Murphy and Andrews
independently. The incidence of perforation is 0.1 to 3 per 1000 insertions. Uterine perforation almost always occurs during insertion of IUCD
and its incidence is related to the timing of insertion, type of device, the anatomy of the uterus and cervix, also faulty insertion technique, soft
uterine wall, recent pregnancy, abortion and previous uterine scar. With this , we are presenting a case of 25yr old, with complaints of pain
abdomen since 3 days. She was P1L1 delivered by LSCS 3 months back, IUCD insertion was done 6 weeks following the delivery. Her general
physical examination and systemic examination were within normal limits. On per speculum examination, IUCD thread was not seen. X–ray of
the pelvis was done and showed the Copper T to be anterior to the uterus. Laproscopy revealed adhesions between the omentum and anterior
abdominal wall, following successful adhesiolysis the copper T was retrieved
