IUD insertion during cesarean section. 1985

H Van Kets, and M Thiery, and H Van der Pas

An IUD (TCu220C) was inserted in 82 women during low-transverse cesarean section. No untoward effect on puerperal morbidity or lactation was observed and no serious complications occurred in this series. At 12 months the rates were zero for pregnancy and 7.7 for expulsion; the latter figure is comparable to that reported after immediate postplacental insertion of the same IUD model. Intracesarean IUD insertion is a procedure that deserves further promotion.
