Gynaecological Surgery in Pregnancy
Careful multidisciplinary planning when an operation during pregnancy is safer than observation or delayed treatment.
Surgery is considered only when appropriate, with careful discussion of alternatives, benefits and risks. Open, laparoscopic, hysteroscopic and robotic approaches are selected according to individual safety and need.
Coordinate the surgical and maternity discussions
Bring both pregnancy records and the reports relating to the proposed operation. Ask who will bring the two care plans together and explain the next steps.
