Abstract
Objective: Implant-site necrosis is a rare complication. We present a case-series of a necrosis as an adverse effect after the etonogestrel (ENG)-subdermal contraceptive implant placement.
Material and methods: Five women with site necrosis after the ENG-implant placement and their clinical manifestations and treatments.
Results: Local pain was the main symptom, appearing within 35 days of placement. Outpatient multidisciplinary treatment was undertaken. Local debridement and implant removal was performed in four out of the five women. Time to complete healing varied from 45 days to 12 months.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment are essential to avoid severe aesthetic or functional damages and major life-threatening complications.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
