Vujic J, et al. - Give the observed challenges encountered in the diagnosis and management of non-obstetric abdominal pathologies during pregnancy, researchers investigated 76 pregnant patients who had undergone non-obstetric abdominal surgery for their outcome. Acute appendicitis was the indication for surgery in 63%, adnexal pathology was the indication in 11%, cholecystolithiasis was the indication in 5% and other indications were reported in 21%; in 18% cases, surgery was performed in an elective setting and in 82% cases, surgery was performed in an emergent/urgent setting. Outcomes suggest that during pregnancy, if mandatory, abdominal surgery for non-obstetric pathology can be done safely without increases in maternal and fetal pathology, miscarriage, and preterm birth rates.
