Appendicitis in pregnancy presents similar symptoms to non-pregnant individuals but carries risks like fetal mortality. Prompt appendectomy is crucial to prevent complications.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Appendicitis is a common surgical emergency that can occur during pregnancy.
  • Pregnancy can alter the presentation and diagnostic challenges of appendicitis.

Purpose:

  • To review the incidence, symptoms, clinical findings, and complications of appendicitis in pregnant patients.
  • To emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis and management to improve maternal and fetal outcomes.

Summary:

  • Appendicitis symptoms in pregnancy mirror those in non-pregnant women, though uterine contractions may occur.
  • Complications, including fetal mortality, premature labor, and abortion, are linked to delayed diagnosis and perforated appendicitis.
  • Immediate appendectomy upon suspicion, prophylactic tocolytic therapy, and standard antibiotic use are recommended. Delivery should be based on obstetric indications.
