This study on appendicitis in pregnancy found no fetal or maternal deaths. Early surgical intervention (laparotomy) is crucial for reducing complications in pregnant patients.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Appendicitis during pregnancy presents diagnostic and management challenges.
  • Pregnancy alters the typical presentation and location of appendicitis.

Purpose:

  • To review cases of appendicitis in pregnant patients.
  • To evaluate outcomes and identify factors influencing maternal and fetal health.

Summary:

  • A retrospective review of 18 pregnant patients with appendicitis from 1990-2001.
  • Most cases were acute appendicitis (88.9%), with a mean age of 25.
  • No fetal or maternal mortality was observed; complications included wound infection and atelectasis in perforated cases.

Impact:

  • Highlights the safety and efficacy of early surgical management for appendicitis in pregnancy.
