The advantages of laparoscopic surgery are similar for pregnant
and nonpregnant women; nevertheless, this procedure was avoided
during pregnancy because of concerns that it may be harmful to the
fetus. Within the last decade, however, multiple case reports and case
series describing the safe performance of laparoscopic procedures in
pregnant patients have been published, resulting in a paradigm shift.
Appendicitis, gallbladder disease, mesenteric cysts, and adnexal
masses/torsion have been successfully managed laparoscopically
during pregnancy. More advanced laparoscopic procedures, such as
radical nephrectomy, splenectomy, salpingectomy, adrenalectomy,
retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy, and ventral hernia repair, have
also been reported in gravid patients. This topic will discuss issues
specific to laparoscopic surgery during pregnancy. Discussions
of laparoscopic surgery in the general population and specific
laparoscopic procedures can be found separately.
