Acute abdomen in pregnancy due to isolated Fallopian tube torsion: The laparoscopic treatment of a rare case (original) (raw)

World Journal of Clinical Cases, 2014

Abstract

In the last years, operative laparoscopy became a standard approach in gynaecology and general surgery. Even in pregnancy its use is becoming more widely accepted. In fact, it offers advantages similar to those in no pregnant women, associated with good maternal and fetal outcomes. Around 0.2% of pregnant women require abdominal surgery. The most common indications of laparoscopy in pregnancy are cholelithiasis complications, appendicitis, persistent ovarian cyst and adnexal torsion. Authors describe a very rare case of acute abdomen due to isolated Fallopian tube torsion in a 24(th) weeks pregnant woman, managed by laparoscopic salpingectomy.
