Symptoms can vary, but often mimic renal colic. Radiographic imaging may aid the diagnosis of a foreign body in the ureter. Reports on endoscopic managements of a migrated IUD are not well described.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present a 36-year-old woman with a history of IUD insertion. Her symptoms included hematuria, dysuria, and suprapubic\/abdominal pressure. After the removal of her IUD by her gynecologist, her hematuria eventually stopped, but she presented again with persistent pain. CT revealed a radiopaque foreign body in the distal left ureter protruding into the bladder. A careful resection with a resectoscope uncovered a long cylindrical shaped foreign body, suspicious of a broken piece of the IUD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although not always feasible and long-term results remain to be determined, endoscopic management is a safe and effective method of identifying and removing a retained IUD in the ureter. When evaluating a woman with abdominal pain who has an indwelling IUD, a spontaneous migration of the IUD should be considered in the differential diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/cren.2020.0076","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,29]],"date-time":"2020-12-29T16:50:56Z","timestamp":1609260656000},"page":"502-504","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Endoscopic Removal of an Intrauterine Device in the Left Distal Ureter"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Young Suk","family":"Kwon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomas","family":"Paneque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akhil A.","family":"Chandra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin J.","family":"Chua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Faizanahmed I.","family":"Munshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bridget L.","family":"Findlay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keith A.","family":"Harmon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset, Somerville, New Jersey, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"335","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.322115068","article-title":"Migration of intrauterine devices: Radiologic findings and implications for patient care","volume":"32","author":"Boortz HE","year":"2012","unstructured":"Boortz HE, , Margolis DJ, , Ragavendra N, et al.
