Cystoscopic retrieval of a migrated IUD with bladder stone formation during pregnancy termination: a Case Report

This case highlights that a prior cesarean section scar is a paramount risk factor for late-onset IUD migration into the bladder. Unexplained lower urinary tract symptoms in women with this history warrant prompt investigation with cross-sectional imaging such as CT. When the migrated IUD is associated with a small, manageable stone, direct cystoscopic retrieval is a viable and effective minimally invasive treatment option.
