Surgical disease during pregnancy
Summary:
The most common surgical diseases during pregnancy are the acute appendicitis, the acute cholecystitis, the ovarian masses and trauma. The differential diagnosis of the surgical diseases during pregnancy can be often difficult, due to the changes to the anatomy and physiology of the pregnant woman. These changes can make a possible surgical treatment of the disease hard. It is considered that the most appropriate time for a surgical intervention is the second trimester of the pregnancy or postpartum, because during the first and the third trimester, the risk of spontaneous abortion and preterm delivery is high, respectively. In case that it is decided that a surgical intervention is necessary, it should be performed without delay independently of the gestational age. The selection of the type of anesthesia depends on the disease that makes the surgical intervention imperative. During and after the surgery, the right function of the utero-placental unit must be ensured and drugs that may affect negatively its function should be avoided. The approach of the pregnant patient should be done by a medical team which consists of an obstetrician-gynecologist, a general surgeon, an anesthesiologist and a pediatrician.
