title: [Removal of an intrauterine device (IUD) and uterine curettage. A report of experiences].
abstract: It is reported on 180 patients in whom IUD were removed with simultaneous dilatation and curettage of the uterus because of menstrual irregularities or a long indwelling of the IUD. In addition to the indwelling the age of the patients and the parity are analysed and a survey of the histological findings is given. We explain our position about the necessity of simultaneous D and C, ist risks and economical aspects.
