Sigmoid kolonda rahim içi aracın insiidental tespiti

Abstract

Intrautreine device is a contraception method which has beenused for a long period of time with proved efficacy. Uterineperforation and IUD migration are rare complications of thismethod. Sigmoid colon is a very rare site for perforation witha few case reports. In this work we report a 38 year old patient with sigmoid perforation of IUD diagnosed as an incidental finding eight years after initial application. Since perforation and migration had occurred without symptoms in ourpatient, we have tried to highlight the importance of periodiccontrols in even asymptomatic patients because of the potential complications of perforation such as sepsis and intestinalobstruction.
