Gary PY - 2017 T2 - Cunningham and Gilstrap's Operative Obstetrics, 3e AB - The first laparoscopies in pregnancy were performed in the early 1990s. Since then, laparoscopy has been widely adopted as an alternative to laparotomy for the diagnosis and treatment of surgical conditions arising in pregnancy. Accordingly, surgeons should be aware of the distinct physiologic changes during gestation that may require technique modification. With these adjustments, gravidas can benefit from advantages of laparoscopy similar to those experienced by nonpregnant patients.
