Abstract
Laparoscopic Surgery in Pregnancy and Consequences According to Gestational Age
Highlights
Laparoscopic surgery has been revealed and displayed by various research teams to reduce operative time, postoperative pain, hospital length of stay, recovery time, and wound complications in comparison to laparotomy during pregnancy
The rates and incidences of abdominal surgery requirement varies widely according to various prior research studies the cornerstone issue of concern is safety and capability to perform laparoscopic procedures with the great challenge of anatomical and physiological changes that normally exist during pregnancy, that requires laparoscopic surgeon that have the experience and skill to conduct the surgery taking into account the anatomical changes that vary greatly according to the gestational trimester
This study was conducted in a retrospective way the medical records of 18 pregnant cases that performed laparoscopic procedures were reviewed as regards demographic and clinical features and indication of laparoscopic procedure
Summary
Laparoscopic surgery has been revealed and displayed by various research teams to reduce operative time, postoperative pain, hospital length of stay, recovery time, and wound complications in comparison to laparotomy during pregnancy. The rates and incidences of abdominal surgery requirement varies widely according to various prior research studies the cornerstone issue of concern is safety and capability to perform laparoscopic procedures with the great challenge of anatomical and physiological changes that normally exist during pregnancy, that requires laparoscopic surgeon that have the experience and skill to conduct the surgery taking into account the anatomical changes that vary greatly according to the gestational trimester. Research efforts in this aspect are still inadequate and scarce and requires various investigations as regards the type and safety profile of laparoscopic surgery during pregnancy [1,2].
