Abstract
Deeply inserted, nonpalpable contraceptive implants can often be removed easily using 6-8 cm3 of 1% lidocaine and a single 1 cm incision. There is no need for suturing of the incision. The location of nonpalpable implants not retrieved by this procedure can be determined by a plain, soft tissue x-ray (standard AP and lateral and internal oblique; 45-55 kVP) of the area where the implants are inserted. Removal can then be accomplished several weeks later.Entities:
