Excerpt

Early concerns about the performance of laparoscopic surgery performed on pregnant patients centered on the potential risk to the fetus due to trocar insertion, CO2 insufflation, and the technical ability to obtain proper operative exposure with a gravid uterus. Additionally, risks to the mother that were thought to be important included altered physiology of pneumoperitoneum and decreased venous return to the heart. Evidence is accumulating to suggest that clinical outcomes are equivalent to open surgical techniques, while conferring all the advantages of the laparoscopic approach. …
