Article Synopsis
- This study examines the factors leading to the misplacement of intrauterine devices (IUDs), their diagnosis, and the surgical options for management.
- Of 18 patients analyzed, most IUD insertions were performed by trained midwives or general practitioners, with 61% managed using laparoscopic surgery and no complications reported.
- The findings emphasize the need for proper training for IUD inserters and recommend ultrasound as the preferred diagnostic tool, resorting to X-ray only if necessary.
