Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Migration to the Sigmoid Colon: A Case Report

The Copper T intrauterine device (IUDs) are a commonly used method of contraception for women, but have been associated with serious complications such as bleeding, perforation and migration to adjacent organs or omentum.
