Background:

  • Acute appendicitis presents diagnostic challenges during pregnancy.
  • Timely diagnosis and surgical management are critical for maternal and fetal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the diagnostic accuracy and surgical treatment outcomes for acute appendicitis in pregnant individuals.
  • To evaluate the impact of gestational stage on appendicitis diagnosis and complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 24 pregnant patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis between 1990 and 2000.
  • Analysis of surgical findings, pathological reports, and pregnancy outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of acute appendicitis was 1 in 3,148 deliveries.
