A rare complication of IUD usage is migration of the device through the wall of the uterus and into the abdominal cavity. This video shows laparoscopic removal of a Mirena IUD that had migrated from the uterus into the upper part of the abdomen.

  • It was entangled in omentum. The assumption is that the patients gynecologist perforated the uterus at the time of insertion.

  • So i'm assuming the IUD was entangled into the mesentery? What would cause the IUD to migrate so drastically?
