Removal of a displaced IUD contraceptive. Endoscope view of a surgical instrument removing an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD,white,upper centre) that is penetrating through a perforation in the uterus (womb) into the abdomen. Two dark threads are seen hanging down from the IUD. An IUD is a T-shaped piece of metal or plastic that is inserted into the uterus,through the cervix,to prevent pregnancy. It is thought to work by inhibiting the implantation of a fertilised egg. In cases where any part of the IUD has penetrated the uterine wall,the IUD is surgically removed | |
