A known complication of hormone-releasing contraceptive implants is a nonpalpable device at time of intended removal. We report a preprocedure outpatient assessment that includes an ultrasound scan and surface marking. This technique, with avoidance of local infiltration anesthesia, facilitates implant removal and negates the need for concomitant imaging on the day of surgery. The cases we present were referred to our upper limb clinic after previous failed attempts at removal.
激素释放避孕植入物的一个已知并发症是在计划取出时无法触及植入装置。我们报告一种术前门诊评估方法，包括超声扫描和体表标记。这种技术避免了局部浸润麻醉，便于取出植入物，并且无需在手术当天进行辅助成像检查。我们呈现的这些病例是在之前取出尝试失败后被转诊至我们的上肢诊所的。
