MISPLACED COPPER T: A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW

Worldwide, the second most popular form of birth control is Cu T because it is a long term, reversible, highly effective and cost effective contraceptive. In an international study sponsored by the WHO, the average annual failure rate of Copper T was 0.4% or less. Uterine perforation is one of the most dreaded complications of Copper T insertion. The frequency of this occurrence is estimated to be between 0.05 and 13 per 1000 insertions (average, 1.2/1000) and appears to depend on the type of device placed, the skill of the operator, position of the uterus, and intensity of follow-up. A detailed study of case was done who were admitted in our hospital. Further imaging was done and patient were diagnosed with misplaced IUD. The misplaced IUD was removed under vision with hysteroscopy or laproscopy. Minimally invasive techniques like hysteroscopy and advanced laparoscopy are ideally suited to the diagnosis and surgical management of the perforated IUD.
