Fetal Outcomes Among Pregnant Emergency General Surgery Patients

Completed

Conditions studied: Pregnancy Complications, Acute Appendicitis, Acute Cholecystitis, Biliary Pancreatitis, Bowel Obstruction, Acute Diverticulitis

In brief

Approximately 1 in 500 pregnant women require non-obstetric surgery. Surgical care for the pregnant woman raises concern for complications adversely affecting pregnancy outcomes. The most common reason for surgery is acute appendicitis followed by gallbladder disease. Despite the common incidence of non-obstetric surgery among pregnant women, little is known regarding fetal outcome and the impact of laparoscopic interventions versus traditional open procedures. Even less is known about the role of non-operative management of general surgical disease in the pregnant population. However, fetal outcome is not compromised by emergency general surgery condition interventions.
