Patients: A 30 years old woman was candid for elective laparoscopic tubectomy 4 months after IUD insertion. One month after IUD insertion transabdominal ultrasonography showed her IUD in proper position in uterine cavity. During the laparoscopy, tubal ligation omentum and small bowel adhesion to uterus were present .After adhesionlysis the IUD was embedded in serosa of small bowel and the string was present in uterine cavity. So, IUD removal was performed by laparoscopic grasp and there was no post operative complication. Conclusion: IUD translocation might be asymptomatic and the presence of string in physical exam could not roule out the translocation.
