News from ACOG: Skills Demonstration Video for the Localization and Removal of Non-Palpable Contraceptive Implants


This year’s film festival at the at American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) 2018 annual meeting at Austin, Texas offered more audience-friendly format with three 1-hour sessions with 30 minutes break in between the first 2 sessions.

The organizers reviewed 96 videos this year, and while videos about minimally invasive surgical techniques are very popular, they were outnumbered by patient education and anatomic videos.
This popular video about how to localize and remove a non-palpable contraceptive implant earned a spot among the top 3 videos.

This video was developed by Jhpiego, an international, non-profit health organization affiliated with The Johns Hopkins University for clinicians who provide implant services to be able to locate and perform a difficult removal of a deeply placed implant as well as sonographers and other healthcare providers who participate in localizing deep implants.
