The application of laparoscopy in pregnancy, however, has been slow to gain widespread acceptance. Although pregnancy is considered a relative contraindication for laparoscopic procedures, data indicate that these concerns may be unwarranted when procedures are performed by skilled surgeons. APPENDICITIS, CHOLECYSTECTOMY, OVARIAN TORSION/CYST AND SYMPTOMATIC ADNEXEL MASSES are some of the more common conditions necessitating intervention.
Experience of Laparoscopy surgery in pregnancy in more than 50 cases affirms the feasibility of this approach by skilled surgeon.
