ABSTRACT

Background: The subdermic single-rod contraceptive implant is used for more than 2.5 million of womens around the world (in México there are around 600 000 collocated implants). in a small number of cases an incorrect insertion procedure is caused by a complex localizaron.
Methods: A clinical, retrospective, descriptive study was conducted in the period January 2011 to December 2013. the Family Planning Service of the General Hospital of Mexico Dr. Eduardo Liceaga.
Results: A total of 21 patients were included. In all cases the implant was not palpable in 20 patients and was located by ultrasound and removed. 10 implants were in Fatty tissue, 6 in muscle , 2 in fatty tissue and muscle and 2 were located in armpit.
Conclusions: Due to simplitcity and accessibility, the ultrasound is the selected method for identifying deeply non-palpable implants.
