Appendicitis in Pregnancy: A Multidisciplinary Approach and Optimal Management from the Perspective of Gynecology and Obstetrics - A Case Report

Original language description

Introduction: Appendectomy for acute appendicitis is the most common surgical procedure performed during pregnancy. The primary treatment for acute appendicitis is emergency surgery, which can be particularly challenging due to altered anatomical conditions. Preoperative and postoperative care may require certain examinations due to pregnancy that are not standard within surgical practice or may be overlooked by the attending gynecologist. Case Presentation: A patient at 31 weeks of gestation presented to the obstetric clinic with an acute onset of acute appendicitis. After completing all necessary examinations and a thorough multidisciplinary evaluation, a successful laparoscopic appendectomy was performed. The subsequent hospitalization was complicated by the onset of uterine contractions, for which tocolysis was administered in combination with corticosteroid therapy to induce fetal lung maturity. Conclusion: In the presented case report, we demonstrate an example of the appropriate multidisciplinary approach with an analysis of the specific steps that should be taken to maximize the benefit for both the fetus and the mother, as well as the surgical team. In the discussion, we outline the steps that should be followed for patient benefit and forensic reasons.
