[Ten years of experience with Nova T in office practice. 630 cases].
The author reports a retrospective study of 630 Nova T inserted by a medical gynecologist. The Nova T was chosen as intrauterine device because of its longevity and its ease of insertion and removal. Nulliparity was not an absolute contraindication (10% of cases in the series). Particular attention was paid to information given to the women concerned: possibility of menstrual irregularities, infections more likely to be transmitted by a partner than by the IUD, and above all the possibility of pregnancy: Pearl index 0.96. Uterine retroversion in no way interfered with the insertion technique. Hysterometry was routine (mean: 7.25 cm). Threads were cut 2-3 cm from the cervix.
