Abstract:
A urinary bladder stone in young adults is uncommon. Dislocation of an IUD to adjection organs is a rare condition. We present a case of a 28-year female with a chief complaint of right side pelvis discomfort, off and on with the urinary system. In this case, we performed cystoscopy assisted laser lithotripsy, hysteroscopy to localize and remove IUD, transurethral resectoscope for removing IUD residual, and resection sinus tract. This article's objective states that the multidisciplinary approach to removing dislocated IUD is safe and effective and raises awareness of forgotten contraceptive devices and their potential complications.
