Records of twenty-six patients who presented at the University College Hospital, Ibadan with 'lost' IUDs between 1 July 1980 and 30 April 1982 were analysed. During the 22-month study period there were 3476 IUD insertions. Routine evaluation showed that eighteen IUDs (69.2%) were intrauterine whilst eight IUDs (30.8%) were extrauterine. Seventeen (65.4%) intrauterine devices were recovered by routine D and C. Of the eight extrauterine devices, six (23.1%) were removed by laparoscopy, one (3.8%) was removed by laparotomy and one (3.8%) was removed by colpotomy. It is concluded that it is preferable for all extrauterine devices to be removed in order to discourage psychosomatic symptomatology commonly associated with forgotten devices.
对1980年7月1日至1982年4月30日期间在伊巴丹大学学院医院因宫内节育器（IUD）“丢失”前来就诊的26例患者的记录进行了分析。在为期22个月的研究期间，共进行了3476例IUD置入术。常规评估显示，18例IUD（69.2%）位于子宫内，而8例IUD（30.8%）位于子宫外。通过常规刮宫术取出了17例（65.4%）子宫内的节育器。在8例子宫外的节育器中，6例（23.1%）通过腹腔镜取出，1例（3.8%）通过剖腹手术取出，1例（3.8%）通过阴道切开术取出。得出的结论是，最好取出所有位于子宫外的节育器，以减少通常与遗忘节育器相关的身心症状。
