    Abstract:
    Intrauterine contraceptive device is the most popular method of reversible contraception in developing countries due to its efficiency and low cost. However, this device is often inserted by paramedics of variable skills, and follow-up evaluations are irregular or absent which can be the source of major complications. The authors report six cases of intravesical migration of intrauterine contraceptive devices complicated by bladder stones. All the six cases were managed endoscopically with excellent outcome. The authors demonstrate that this major complication can be managed endoscopically with decreased morbidity for the patient.
