Resources for deep and nonpalpable contraceptive implant removal-OHSU Lasso technique

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker demonstrates the lasso technique for removing deep implants. They stress careful preoperative ultrasound marking, or at least measuring and marking twice. A small linear incision is made in the middle of the implant, which can be enlarged if needed. After anesthetizing the patient, a larger needle or suture can be used to bring the implant closer to the surface, making removal easier. The implant is then pulled out through the incision. The speaker notes that a thicker suture is usually preferred.
