The use of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) is increasing globally due to their higher ability to effectively prevent unintended pregnancies in comparison to short-acting reversible contraceptives (SARCs), especially in adolescence. LARCs include intrauterine devices (copper- or levonorgestrel-releasing) and subcutaneous implants. For LARCs application a dedicated training is needed.

Abstract
The use of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) is increasing globally due to their higher ability to effectively prevent unintended pregnancies in comparison to short-acting reversible contraceptives (SARCs), especially in adolescence. LARCs include intrauterine devices (copper- or levonorgestrel-releasing) and subcutaneous implants. For LARCs application a dedicated training is needed. Particularly, this Expert Opinion is aiming to open to expert debates on the subcutaneous implant, in particular etonogestrel (ENG)-releasing one, as a cutting-edge form of hormonal contraception. It provides up-to-date guidance about practical advice and technical tips for the ENG implant insertion/removal derived from many years of clinical experience, along with recommendations for the management of unscheduled bleeding during contraception with this method.
