Rectal migration of an intrauterine device (IUD) is a rare but potentially serious complication requiring prompt diagnosis and management. We present a rare case of rectal migration of an intrauterine device (IUD) in a 26-year-old female, highlighting the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, laparoscopic removal, and postoperative outcomes. This case emphasizes the critical importance of vigilant monitoring, early intervention, and close follow-up in managing IUD migration to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

- The study evaluated serum albumin levels within 24 hours of admission in 371 patients with acute pancreatitis to determine their impact on outcomes and mortality over a 5-year period.
- Findings revealed that 33.4% of patients had hypoalbuminemia, which was linked to older age and higher rates of complications, such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome and pleural effusion.
- The results suggest that low serum albumin levels are a significant indicator for predicting persistent organ failure and increased mortality in acute pancreatitis cases.
