TORIBIO- MEMBRENO, Iván y GUTIERREZ- MIRANDA, María Raquel. Perforación uterina y de colon por T de cobre. Acta méd. costarric [online]. 2005, vol.47, n.1, pp.51-52. ISSN 0001-6002.
We report the case of 36 years old female, with uterine and sigmoid colon perforation caused by a Tcu placed 14 years previously. She was asymptomatic. The management required an abdominal histerectomy and repair of the sigmoid colon, she also needed a temporary transverse colostomy with final satisfactory outcome. Uterine perforation by intrauterine devices, is an infrequent complication, in 15% of the cases it is associated with perforation of other internal organs, primarily the intestine.
