Background:

  • Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency during pregnancy.
  • Traditional open appendectomy carries risks for both mother and fetus.
  • Laparoscopic appendectomy offers a minimally invasive alternative.

Observation:

  • Case histories of three pregnant patients with acute appendicitis treated laparoscopically.
  • Detailed account of the laparoscopic appendectomy procedure in pregnant individuals.

Findings:

  • Successful laparoscopic appendectomy in all three pregnant patients.
  • Demonstrated advantages of the laparoscopic approach in pregnancy.
  • Confirmed safety profile of laparoscopic appendectomy during gestation.

Implications:
