BACKGROUND
The intrauterine device is the most used contraceptive in the world, but it is not without risk of perforation of intra-abdominal organs. We report a perforation of the cecum and removal via appendectomy.
CASE
A 23-year-old woman developed chronic abdominal pain after insertion of an intrauterine device 8 weeks postpartum. At laparoscopy, the device was found in the cecum and removed via appendectomy.
CONCLUSION
Perforation is more common in the immediate postpartum state. An alternate method of removal via appendectomy proved useful.
