    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency.
    • Appendicitis during pregnancy presents unique diagnostic and management challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of pregnant women with acute appendicitis.
    • To identify key diagnostic indicators and preferred surgical approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 24 pregnant patients with acute appendicitis over 8 years.
    • Analysis of symptoms, physical signs, laboratory findings, and surgical procedures.

    Main Results:

    • Abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting were most common symptoms.
    • Abdominal tenderness and rebound pain were reliable signs.

  • Leukocytosis (WBC > 15,000/cu mm) and prolonged symptoms suggested perforation.
  • McBurney's incision and spinal anesthesia were preferred.
  • Premature labor occurred in 21% postoperatively.

    • Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for appendicitis in pregnancy.
    • Specific clinical and laboratory findings aid in diagnosing perforation.
    • Standard surgical techniques are applicable, with careful consideration for maternal and fetal well-being.
