Objective:
To introduce an effective method combining various endoscopes in the treatment of intravesical migrated intrauterine device (IUD).
Design:
A step-by-step explanation of the surgery using video, approved by the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.
Setting:
Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.
Interventions:
A 39-year-old young woman, in whom an IUD was inserted 2 months prior, presented with frequent urination after IUD insertion. Cystoscope and pelvic computed tomography were performed, and the results showed an IUD in the bladder. The migrated IUD was found partly in the uterus and partly in the bladder by hysteroscope and cystoscope. Management of the migrated IUD consists of 4 steps: (1) lysing the adhesion between the bladder and uterus, (2) suturing the bladder and taking the IUD part out of the bladder, (3) removing the IUD part in the uterus, and (4) suturing the bladder again to reinforce it and suturing the uterus.
Conclusion:
The migrated IUD in the bladder was successfully and completely extracted by the method combining various endoscopes; operative time was 56 minutes. In the follow-up period the patient did not report any symptoms of frequency urination. This surgical process has the following characteristics: Preoperative examination should be performed to clarify the ectopic site of the IUD, various endoscopes should be combined for diagnosis and treatment, and endoscopic surgery is an effective treatment method for migrated IUD.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
