    Author: Chi E, Rosenfeld D, Sokol TP.
    Journal: Am Surg; 2005 Dec; 71(12):1055-7. PubMed ID: 16447479.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a translocated intrauterine device (IUD) embedded within the colon wall. Endoscopic tattooing and laparoscopy was used to identify the colonic site and facilitate extraction by colonic resection. A review of the literature and discussion of laparoscopic management of this complication is presented.
