Surgical management of pre-eclampsia primarily involves the delivery of the baby, as this is the only definitive treatment for the condition. Depending on the gestational age and the severity of the pre-eclampsia, delivery may be via vaginal birth or cesarean section. Additionally, in cases of severe pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, surgical intervention may be necessary to manage complications such as placental abruption or severe fetal distress. Supportive measures, including managing hypertension and monitoring maternal and fetal well-being, are also critical components of surgical management.
