Abstract
Surgical and anesthetic interventions during pregnancy are not hazard free. While an increase in fetal resorption and the abortion rate duri ng the first trimester is well documented, a second-trimester interven tion is assumed to be relatively safe. A case of acute transient oligo hy-dramnios, fetal growth arrest and limb reduction anomaly following second-trimester abdominal surgery is reported for the first time.
