[Personal experience with the extraction of "lost" intrauterine devices by the Soonawalla method]
Jugoslavenska Ginekologija I Opstetricija
|May 1, 1984
Abstract:
From 1981 to 1983, 3660 intrauterine contraceptive devices were taken away, in 278 cases by the modified extractor after Soonawalla, because the short tread of the device was broken or drawn into the uterus. The most frequent indication for the removal of the device was irregular bleeding. Prior to extraction, X-ray and ultrasound were used to determine the position of the device in the uterus.
