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.

Patient Name: Krishna Verma. Age: 42...
Patient Name: Krishna Verma. Age: 42. Background: A busy high school biology teacher and mother of two teenagers. She had a copper IUCD inserted 8 years ago after her second child and had forgotten about it amidst her demanding career and family life. Symptoms/History: For the past 6 months, Krishna experienced intermittent, sharp lower abdominal pain and unusually heavy periods. A routine ultrasound for her symptoms revealed the IUCD was not in its correct position in the uterus but had partially embedded in the uterine wall. Doctor Recommendation: Her gynaecologist, Dr. Rao, explained that the 'lost' IUCD needed to be removed via laparoscopy to prevent further embedding, infection, or organ perforation. He assured her it was a minimally invasive keyhole surgery. Treatment Experience: Krishna was anxious but found the pre-operative counselling helpful. The laparoscopic procedure under general anaesthesia took about 45 minutes. The surgeon used a camera and instruments inserted through small incisions in her abdomen to locate and carefully extract the IUCD. Post-Procedure Recovery Outcome: She was discharged the same day. She experienced mild abdominal bloating and shoulder-tip pain from the gas used in surgery for 48 hours, which resolved with prescribed painkillers. She was back to teaching within a week, with instructions to avoid heavy lifting for two weeks. Emotional Journey: Before, Krishna felt a mix of fear and foolishness for forgetting the IUCD. She worried about the surgery's impact on her family routine. After, she felt immense relief. The quick recovery validated her choice, and she was grateful for the modern technique that solved the problem with minimal disruption to her life.
