PIP: A 25 year old patient, wearer of a Lippes Loop, required removal of the device 10 months after insertion complaining of pain. Endouterine exploration, hysterometry and laparosocpy failed to detect the device. Finally laparotomy was performed and the IUD, which had perforated the uterus and the urinary bladder, was found in the vesical cavity. This occurrence is very rare; it might, however, be avoided by choosing a different IUD type.
