Surgical intervention in the gravid female does not appreciably result in adverse outcome for the mother or the fetus. Risks may be increased, however, if complications arise. For example, peritonitis from a perforated appendix produces significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, despite appropriate anesthesia and surgical intervention. Nonetheless, gravid women do not seem to have significant untoward complications when compared with non-gravid women undergoing similar procedures (Silvestri et al. Obstet Gynecol 118:1261, 2011). |
