[Laparoscopic appendectomy in pregnancy - a case report].
The authors present a case of a 25- year- old pregnant patient diagnosed with acute appendicitis, indicated for laparoscopic appendectomy based on a consultation with gynecologists. No complications occurred during postoperative recovery and the patient was discharged on the fifth postoperative day, vital fetus with normal development. This case review points out a rarely discussed topic of laparoscopic appendectomy in pregnant women as a safe alternative to open surgery. Appendicitis is one of the most common indications for surgery during pregnancy. Appendicitis in pregnancy represents a challenge for a surgeon, both in terms of diagnosis as well as treatment and choice of surgical approach.
