Operative Strategy in Acute Surgical Abdomen of Non-traumatic Extragenital Origin Associated with Pregnancy

OPERATIVE STRATEGY IN ACUTE SURGICAL ABDOMEN OF NON-TRAUMATIC EXTRAGENITAL ORIGIN ASSOCIATED WITH PREGNANCY (Abstract): The association between acute surgical abdomen of non-traumatic extragenital cause and pregnancy is very rare, making assessment difficult. Consequently, a standard protocol of surgical conduct has not been established, making it necessary to often resort to intraoperative improvisations. These, however. (usually done last and poorly thought out) may generate errors. Such risks be reduced by using the experience of properly resolved cases reported in the li terature. This article presents an operative strategy recommended in cases of a combination of non-traumatic acute surgical abdomen and pregnancy according to the position and etiology of the surgical condition and the age of the pregnancy.
