Abstract

Non-obstetric surgery for during pregnancy has a rise in incidence these last couple of decades. However, based on the physiological changes of the pregnancy and the vulnerable state of the fetus, it poses a complicated anesthesia management. The most important principles in anesthetic care for non-obstetric pregnancy are ensuring the mother and fetus safety, which could be done in several anesthesia techniques, each with their specific considerations. The author reported four cases of non-obstetric surgery in pregnancy including an ovarian cyst excision, salphingo-oophorectomy, craniotomy, and tumor excision, also cerclage operation. All pregnancies were continued to term without adverse effects. This report particularly illustrates the specific anesthesia management for each case, with a brief review of literature on its perioperative management.
