Study summary

The ablation of subcutaneous contraceptive implants is usually performed in consultation under local anesthesia. However, it happens that the implant was placed too deeply or that it migrated too deeply making it impossible to remove it in consultation. These patients should then be referred to reference centers so that the explantation takes place in the operating room. The investigators propose to describe their techniques for preoperative visualization of the implant and their techniques for surgical explantation for educational purposes.
