    Abstract:
    Four patients with appendicitis in pregnancy and one in puerperium are described. In two pregnant women, in the 12th and the 15th week of pregnancy, the surgery was applied in time and normal deliveries followed. The third patient, after a perforated appendicitis and applied appendectomy, developed the obstruction of the intestines, was operated on again, and then had a spontaneous abortion. The fourth patient, in the 20th week of pregnancy, came to hospital with a diffuse peritonitis following a perforated appendicitis and with a dead fetus. During appendectomy the fetus was removed by using small cesarean section. The fifth patient was surgically treated on the 8th day following delivery for retrocecal perforative appendicitis and diffuse peritonitis. All the patients survived.
