The impalpable Implanon: a case report.

Location and removal of non-palpable Implanon implants with the aid of ultrasound guidance.

BACKGROUND Implanon insertion appears to be an easy procedure, but in a small minority of cases difficulties have been encountered with removal if the rod is impalpable. METHODS Patients were referred to the contraceptive and sexual health service with non-palpable Implanon. Following a clinical assessment and examination of the arm where the implant had been inserted, an ultrasound examinati...

Determination of Optimal Imaging Mode for Ultrasonographic Detection of Subdermal Contraceptive Rods: Comparison of Spatial Compound, Conventional, and Tissue Harmonic Imaging Methods

OBJECTIVE To determine which mode of ultrasonography (US), among the conventional, spatial compound, and tissue-harmonic methods, exhibits the best performance for the detection of Implanon® with respect to generation of posterior acoustic shadowing (PAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 21 patients, referred for localization of impalpable Implanon®, underwent US, using the three modes with ...
