The intra-uterine device (Copper T) has been widely used as contraceptive method since 1965. Due to its low cost, effective and reversible nature and long-term benefits, it is widely being used in the developing world. The intra-uterine contraceptive device (IUCD) has been linked to complications like bleeding, perforation and migration to other surrounding organs. The intra-abdomen migration o...

Spontaneous perforation of the uterus is rare and only several cases have been reported in the English medical literature. Most of the patients had gynecological malignancy and almost all were associated with cervical occlusion. We report a case of diffuse peritonitis resulting from spontaneously perforated pyometra with an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted for more than two decades. This case...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to develop a realistic and lifelike uterine model for the training of hysteroscopy skills. MATERIALS AND METHODS A lifelike "uterine" model was constructed using female pig bladder. The pig bladder was enclosed within a malleable mould, with both ureters blocked by pins. Both rigid and flexible hysteroscopes were used in this study. RESULTS Basic diagnostic hys...

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are currently one of the most popular reversible contraception methods used world wide. Uterine perforation is a rarely observed complication. The bladder is one of the organs that an IUD can migrate to because of its close proximity to the uterus. There are about 70 cases in the literature of IUDs that have migrated into the bladder. The resulting bladder perforatio...

Invasive mole is a benign gestational trophoblastic disease that arises from the myometrial invasion of any gestational event via direct extension through tissue or vascular structures. Invasive mole (and other gestational trophoblastic diseases) may present with life-threatening complications including uterine perforation, excessive bleeding, acute hemoperitoneum, and abdominal pain. We report...

Peritoneal trophoblastic implant can occur after treatment of ectopic pregnancy. Similarly, after termination of intrauterine pregnancy, trophoblastic implants are rare but can be a complication of perforation during dilatation and curettage. We report an extremely rare case of trophoblastic implant on the myometrium, ovarian surface, and peritoneal wall 4 months after uncomplicated dilatation ...
