Laparoscopic appendectomy in pregnancy.
Since 1982 we have operated on more than 150 patients using the laparoscopic appendectomy technique. Our complication rate was 0.75% and the patients included six pregnant women in all stages of pregnancy. There were no complications in this group of six women.
