    AbstractIn this article, we discuss the major nonobstetric surgical complications that may occur in pregnancy. We highlight specific diagnostic challenges particularly with imaging modalities and radiation considerations for the fetus. Topics covered in this article include appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, gallstone disease, hepatic rupture, perforated peptic ulcer, mesenteric venous thrombosis, splenic artery aneurysm rupture, and aortic dissection.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
