If Surgery is Necessary During Pregnancy, In Which Months Should It Be Performed?

During pregnancy, sometimes surgery may be required due to pregnancy-related reasons and sometimes due to problems other than pregnancy. Planned surgeries are usually postponed until after the first trimester. In the first trimester, there is concern that anesthetics may harm the baby. The second trimester is considered a safe interval. Cerclage (stitching the cervix), which should be done in the early stages, is usually done at the end of the first trimester and covers the risk-free period. However, overtorsion (rotation of the ovary around its own stalk) , which increases the risk of being seen due to excessive enlargement of the ovary in in vitro fertilization treatments , is a condition that requires emergency surgery. It should be operated on immediately, even if it is within the first trimester. In such cases, it has been observed that the pregnancy continues without any problems after the surgeries performed.
