Immediate postpartum insertion of a sutured Lippes Loop.

Use of the sutured Lippes Loop for immediate postpartum insertion was evaluated in 100 volunteers at the Kasr-el-Aini Hospital in Cairo. The intrauterine devices were inserted manually immediately after delivery of the placenta. There was an expulsion rate of 1.2 per 100 women at three months, one case of infection requiring treatment and one removal because of bleeding. One woman became pregnant and expelled the Loop. The two major problems associated with the use of an intrauterine device, high expulsion rate and perforation, were overcome by hand insertion of the Loop.
