About Laproscopic Removal of Lost IUCD

Laparoscopic removal of a lost intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to retrieve an IUD that has become displaced from the uterus, often into the abdominal cavity. This condition, known as uterine perforation with IUD migration, requires intervention to prevent complications like infection, organ damage, or chronic pain. Using small keyhole incisions, a laparoscope with a camera and specialized instruments are inserted, allowing the surgeon to locate and safely remove the lost device under direct visualization. This advanced technique offers significant advantages over traditional open surgery, including less pain, minimal scarring, and a faster return to daily activities, making it the preferred method for managing this uncommon but important gynaecological issue.

Key Highlights

    Minimally Invasive: Performed through small incisions, avoiding a large abdominal cut.Precise Visualization: High-definition camera allows the surgeon to accurately locate and retrieve the lost IUCD.Reduced Pain & Scarring: Results in significantly less post-operative pain and minimal, barely visible scars.listrongShorter Hospital Stay:/strong Typically allows for discharge within 1-2 days./lilistrongFaster Recovery:/strong Enables a quicker return to normal activities and work compared to open surgery./lilistrongLower Risk of Infection:/strong Smaller wounds reduce the chance of surgical site infections./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Confirmed or suspected uterine perforation with migration of the IUCD into the abdominal cavity.
  • Inability to locate or remove the IUCD via the cervical canal during a standard office procedure.
  • Persistent pelvic or abdominal pain attributed to a migrated IUD.
  • Evidence of the IUD causing injury, adhesion, or inflammation to surrounding organs like the bowel or bladder.
  • Desire for future pregnancy where a retained foreign body could pose a risk.
  • Recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) potentially linked to the displaced device.

How to prepare

  • Diagnostic Confirmation: Undergo imaging tests like an ultrasound, X-ray, or CT scan to confirm the IUD's location outside the uterus.
  • Medical Consultation: A thorough pre-operative assessment with the gynaecologist, including a review of medical history and current medications.
  • Medication Review: Inform your doctor of all medications; you may need to temporarily stop blood thinners or supplements.
  • Pre-operative Tests: Complete required blood tests, ECG, and possibly a chest X-ray to ensure fitness for anaesthesia.
  • Fasting: Follow instructions for fasting (typically 6-8 hours for solids, 2 hours for clear liquids) before the surgery.
  • Logistics: Arrange for someone to drive you home after discharge and to assist you for the first 24-48 hours.

Risks & possible complications

  • Anaesthesia Risks: Reactions to anaesthetic drugs, though rare.
  • Bleeding or Infection: At the incision sites or internally.
  • Injury to Surrounding Organs: Potential, though uncommon, damage to the bowel, bladder, blood vessels, or uterus during retrieval.
  • Conversion to Open Surgery: In complex cases, the procedure may need to be converted to a traditional laparotomy (open surgery).
  • Post-operative Pain or Discomfort: Shoulder tip pain from gas used to inflate the abdomen is common but temporary.
  • Adhesion Formation: Scar tissue can form inside the abdomen after any surgery.
  • Incomplete Removal: Rarely, a fragment of the IUD may be left behind.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Immediate Post-Op: You will be monitored in a recovery area; you may experience grogginess, shoulder pain, or nausea from the anaesthesia.
  • Incision Care: Keep the small incision sites clean and dry as instructed; they are often closed with dissolvable stitches or surgical glue.
  • Pain Management: Prescribed pain medication will help manage discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days.
  • Activity: Rest for the first 24-48 hours. Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and sexual intercourse for 2-3 weeks as advised by your doctor.
  • Diet: Start with light foods and gradually return to your normal diet. Drink plenty of fluids.
  • Follow-up: Attend a post-operative appointment with your gynaecologist to ensure proper healing and discuss future contraception options.
  • Warning Signs: Contact your doctor immediately for fever, severe pain, heavy vaginal bleeding, or redness/swelling at incision sites.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 1-2 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks
