A member asked:

Does surgery or pregnancy pose additional risks?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dr. Nikolaos Zacharias answered

Specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Yes.: Only experts should attempt surgery during pregnancy due to manifold concerns regarding the fetus and mother. Preterm labor is the leading concern, as is infection and bleeding.
