Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of vacuum-induced intrauterine balloon tamponade (vIBT) using the modified Bakri system in a clinical setting.
Materials And Methods: This single-center observational study included women who had undergone vIBT for primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Vacuum induction at 60 kPa in the uterus was continued for 1 h with 50-100 ml saline, and the balloon was promptly removed after the protocol was completed.
We report a rare case of a 29-year old woman presenting with abdominal pain, whose initial examination failed to identify intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) threads. IUCD migration was confirmed by CT scan and subsequent single-port laparoscopic retrieval alleviated her symptoms.

Complications of IUD include menstrual disturbance, pelvic pain, and increased risk of ectopic pregnancy with contraceptive failure, device expulsion, uterine perforation or transmural migration with misplacement of the device.
