Abstract
A rare case of partial perforation of the wall of the bladder by an intraut erine contraceptive device (IUCD) in a puerperal woman and its subsequent l aparoscopic removal is described. Cystoscopy revealed an intact bladder muc ose with the IUCD lying submucosally. This case demonstrates that an IUCD e mbedded in the wall of the bladder, whose mucosa is intact, can be safely r emoved through a laparoscope without resorting to laparotomy.
