Safety of surgical intervention during the second trimester of pregnancy. A case report.
Surgical and anesthetic interventions during pregnancy are not hazard free. While an increase in fetal resorption and the abortion rate during the first trimester is well documented, a second-trimester intervention is assumed to be relatively safe. A case of acute transient oligohydramnios, fetal growth arrest and limb reduction anomaly following second-trimester abdominal surgery is reported for the first time.
