Abstract
Today almost 153 million women of reproductive age group use the IUD worldwide as method of contraception. Migration of IUD into peritoneal cavity through perforation of uterus, though rare is a serious complication, which can present as a gynecological emergency. Skillful insertion of IUD is important to avoid complications. We report a case of postsurgical hematometra with misplaced IUD following intracesarean insertion, which was managed by laparotomy and retrieval of IUD.
