Migration of intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) into urinary bladder is a rare event, presenting as irritative lower urinary tract symptoms; we present two cases of migrated IUD into urinary bladder and embedded inside the detrusor muscle of bladder. Both patients were assessed by ultrasonography and computed tomography. Both patients were successfully treated by endoscopic approach via per urethral route. One patient was having embedded vertical arm of IUD which was pulled using forceps and second patient was having embedded horizontal arm of IUD in detrusor muscle which was treated by taking mucosal incision with help of Collin’s knife followed by pulling IUD with help of forceps. There was no evidence of fistula or any other complication. We would like to conclude that endoscopic removal of IUD embedded into detrusor muscle is safe, feasible alternative to open surgery without any further risk of fistula formation.References
