Abstract:
Optimal approach to appendicitis in pregnancy remains controversial issue. There is also some concern that laparoscopy during pregnancy may cause fetal injury and alter fetal perfusion. Supporters of laparoscopy claim that minimally invasive approach even in pregnant state possesses several advantages, including fewer wound complications and less postoperative pain, producing faster return to normal activities and early hospital discharge, with no increased fetal risk. We present our series of pregnant patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy that shows that in the hands of an experienced surgeon, this method is a safe option in pregnant patients in the second trimester.
