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.
