Laparoscopic surgery during pregnancy appears feasible and safe, but evidence is limited. More research, including prospective trials, is needed to confirm safety and efficacy for mother and fetus.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Safety

Context:

  • Laparoscopic surgery during pregnancy is increasingly performed but lacks extensive data.
  • Existing literature primarily consists of retrospective reviews with small patient cohorts.
  • Common procedures include laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and adnexal surgery.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the current evidence on the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery in pregnant patients.
  • To identify the most common laparoscopic procedures performed during pregnancy.
  • To highlight the importance of intraoperative measures for complication prevention.

Summary:

  • Current literature suggests laparoscopic surgery is feasible and safe for both pregnant patients and fetuses.

  • However, the evidence is based on retrospective studies with limited patient numbers, questioning definitive conclusions.
  • Experimental data on pneumoperitoneum's fetal effects are conflicting and their clinical relevance is debated.

    • Impact:

    • Encouraging preliminary results suggest laparoscopy may be a viable option during pregnancy.
    • The lack of robust scientific evidence prevents establishing laparoscopic surgery as the "gold standard".
    • Prospective trials and registries are essential to validate current findings and guide clinical practice.
