Biliary tract diseases, like acute cholecystitis, are uncommon in pregnancy. Conservative management with antibiotics is initial treatment, with surgery in the second trimester offering better outcomes than emergent procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology

Background:

  • Biliary tract diseases are uncommon and heterogeneous during pregnancy.
  • Acute cholecystitis presents diagnostic challenges in pregnant patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic and management strategies for biliary tract disease in pregnancy.
  • To compare outcomes of surgical interventions based on timing during gestation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical guidelines for managing biliary tract disease in pregnancy.
  • Analysis of treatment approaches including conservative management and surgical timing.

Main Results:

  • Initial management involves conservative measures and antibiotic therapy.

  • Planned surgical intervention during the second trimester is associated with better outcomes compared to emergent surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for biliary tract disease in pregnancy.
    • Timely surgical intervention, ideally in the second trimester, improves patient outcomes.
