[Applicability of ultrasonic B-scan diagnosis to localisation of intra-uterine contraceptive devices (author's transl)].

The types Dana super and Copper T intra-uterine devices (IUD) were reliably localised by ultrasonic B-scanning in 100 patients. Five dislocalisations were recorded and one erroneous interpretation in a case of uterus myomatosus. The method was found to be applicable to screening test and is recommended particularly for the following cases: clinically undetectable thread, following insertion, before removal of IUD, and in early pregnancy by the tenth gestational week.

PRONUCLEAR OVUM FROM A PATIENT USING AN INTRAUTERINE CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICE.

Ova were sought in the washings of the excised reproductive tracts of 48 patients after they had ovulated. From 24 patients using no contraceptives, two unfertilized ova were recovered. From 24 patients using intrauterine coils, one unfertilized and one fertilized pronuclear ovum were recovered. The latter ovum was at the earliest stage of development recorded for the human.

Ultrasonic visualization of NORPLANT subdermal contraceptive devices.

This article describes the first use of ultrasound in locating in vivo NORPLANT subdermal contraceptive implants. Providing low dose, continuous contraception for women. the NORPLANT system utilizes Silastic tubing filled with levonorgestrel. The progestin-filled tubing is not radiopaque. Anticipating the large scale use of NORPLANT subdermal implants, the potential, but rare problem of difficult localization of an implant is recognized. The feasibility of using ultrasound for the painless and safe localization of NORPLANT rods and capsules is demonstrated.
