Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls

The Non-Palpable Implant

17 May 2022

Description

The etonogestrel implant is the most effective LARC available. Well, how many years AFTER the FDA approval of 3 years does the implant remain effective? Also, currently, the usual and customary standard is for the provider and patient to palpate the implant area after insertion. But what happens when the insert is non-palpable? In the session, we will review the evidence-based protocol to find this nonpalpable implant. Can you order a serum etonogestrel level? Do these things “migrate”? Can a patient still use it for birth control after 3 years? Listen in, and find out.
