Office hysteroscopy to guide IUD hook use for removal of a deeply embedded IUD
Office hysteroscopy is a common examination method in gynecological clinics. In most cases, it can only be examined but not treated. Here we present our specific technique used office hysteroscope to guide IUD hook in removal deeply embedded IUD. A young woman presented with intermittent pelvic pain after placement of a V-shaped copper-containing IUD one year prior. Transvaginal sonography revealed a malpositioned IUD in the anterior uterine wall. A diagnostic office hysteroscopy showed that the IUD was deeply embedded in the anterior lower uterine segment, leaving only a U-shaped tip exposed in the uterine cavity. (Source: Contraception)
