Large bowel perforation by intrauterine contraceptive devices
Obstetrics and Gynecology
|November 1, 1975
Abstract:
Two cases of large bowel perforation by intrauterine contraceptive devices are presented. Both the Lippes LoopTM and Dalkon ShieldTM have the potential of evoking omental adhesions and causing bowel perforation. These serious complications justify the immediate removal of a contraceptive device from the peritoneal cavity by either laparoscopy or laparatomy.
