Acute appendicitis in pregnancy presents diagnostic challenges and unique clinical features. Delayed surgical intervention significantly increases mortality rates, particularly in primiparae during early pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency.
  • Pregnancy alters the typical presentation and diagnostic approach to appendicitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze diagnostic difficulties and clinical course of acute appendicitis during pregnancy.
  • To identify factors influencing outcomes in pregnant patients with appendicitis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 110 pregnant women diagnosed with acute appendicitis.
  • Data collected from 23 surgical centers between 1979 and 1989.

Main Results:

  • Acute appendicitis occurred most frequently in primiparae during the first and second trimesters.
  • Diagnostic challenges and atypical presentations were noted.

  • Delayed surgical intervention was a primary cause of high mortality.

    • Conclusions:

    • Appendicitis in pregnancy requires heightened diagnostic awareness.
    • Timely surgical intervention is critical to reduce mortality in pregnant patients.
