Background:
The tubal occlusion contraceptive provides a hysteroscopic technique for female sterilization. Efficacy of the tubal occlusion contraceptive relies on proper placement within the proximal aspect of the fallopian tubes. As long-term data become available, rates of complications are better defined.
Case:
This is a case of a patient who underwent placement of a tubal occlusion contraceptive. As a result of persistent pain and nausea, imaging was performed and malposition of the tubal occlusion contraceptive was identified. During laparoscopy, bowel perforation at the terminal ileum was diagnosed. Laparoscopic ileocecectomy was performed.
Conclusion:
There should be a low threshold for evaluation of complications after tubal occlusion contraceptive placement. Although rare, bowel perforation after placement of the tubal occlusion contraceptive can occur. Laparoscopic management should be considered.

01:27Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
