How did the idea for the book come? Here is the answer. Acute abdomen is still one of the most exciting conditions in (emergency) surgery and medicine in general. The clinician needs to make the diagnosis and the indication for the operation as fast as possible, and then the operator should perform the operation with the lowest possible morbidity and mortality. This is known for over a century. Additional difficulty arises when that clinician has a pregnant patient with acute abdomen.
