Uterine Perforation by Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine Device: A Case Report
1Gynaecology Department, Braemar Hospital, Hamilton, NZL.
Abstract:
The intrauterine device (IUD) is the most popular method of reversible contraception in women of reproductive age nowadays, and its use is being reported by nearly 160 million women. It is considered safe and effective, but intrauterine devices are associated with rare complications such as uterine perforation. We report a case of uterine perforation by a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD), Mirena (Bayer, Auckland, New Zealand) levonorgestrel 52 mg, to create awareness of the diagnosis and the laparoscopic management of these rare cases.
