The intrauterine device (IUD) is an effective and widespread contraceptive method. Its transuterine migration into the pelvic organs or the digestive tract is a rare and sometimes serious accident.
We report the case of a 35-year-old patient who presented with transuterine migration of an intrauterine device placed 2 years earlier. Imaging confirmed migration and suspected the digestive tract localization of the IUD. With laparoscopic approach the intra-cecal localization was precise and the treatment made with good postoperative course.
Through this observation we emphasize the diagnostic and therapeutic role of laparoscopic approach in the management of this contraceptive accident.
