Norplant surgery leads to suit
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Paula already had two children and wanted to hold off on a third, so she asked her gynecologist for Norplant.
Fifteen months later, Paula discovered that the six matchstick-sized contraceptive capsules under the skin of her upper left arm were harder to take out than put in. She is among about 200 women who joined a suit against Norplant maker Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, claiming they suffered permanent injury during removal.
Paula, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said her doctor told her the capsules got stuck in her arm.
"She was pulling and yanking them, but they weren't going anywhere," said Paula, 26. "It was painful. I have a scar that isn't going away."
The lawsuit was filed in Chicago last September and certified as a class action in June. It seeks undisclosed damages and an injunction to prevent Wyeth-Ayerst from selling Norplant to doctors who have not been properly trained to insert and remove it, said plaintiff lawyer Jewel Klein.
Norplant capsules are designed to remain in the arm for about five years, slowly releasing a synthetic hormone that prevents pregnancy.
Wyeth-Ayerst's literature depicts Norplant removal as simple surgery requiring only local anesthesia, but

Wyeth-Ayerst representative Audrey Ashby said the company has set up more than 300 centers where 28,000 doctors and medical assistants have undergone a one-day course on inserting and removing Norplant.
some women needed general angsthesia or several operations before complete removal, Klein said.

About 15 percent of the more than 900,000 American women who have received Norplant later requested removal, Ashby said. Studies predicted that about 6 percent of the women who asked for removal would have complications, but a smaller percentage actually reported problems, Ashby said. She could not give an exact figure.
