Postplacental intra-abdominal placement of levonorgestrel 52 mg intrauterine system: A case report.

This case of an intra-abdominal levonorgestrel 52 mg intrauterine system found three weeks after manual postplacental placement demonstrates the importance of proper insertion technique and ascertainment of fundal placement. Ultrasound guidance can be considered if fundal placement is uncertain. Short interval follow up should be recommended to confirm proper placement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
