Laparoscopic appendectomy is a safe and effective treatment for acute appendicitis in pregnant women. This minimally invasive approach ensures positive outcomes for both mother and baby, regardless of pregnancy stage.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency during pregnancy.
  • Concerns exist regarding fetal safety and surgical challenges of laparoscopic appendectomy in pregnant patients.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis in pregnant women.
  • To assess perioperative outcomes and fetal well-being during pregnancy.

Summary:

  • Fifteen pregnant women underwent laparoscopic appendectomy between 14 and 34 weeks gestation.
  • All procedures were successful with no major maternal complications.
  • Fourteen pregnancies resulted in healthy infant deliveries, with two preterm births at 35 weeks.
