Appendectomies are one of the most common emergency surgeries, and one of the most important cases for medical students to understand early.
But most students walk into these cases without fully understanding what’s happening.
They recognize appendicitis, but don’t fully understand the anatomy, the workup, the surgical decision-making, or what surgeons are actually thinking about in the OR.
In this masterclass, I break down appendectomies in a practical, clinical way, so you can walk into the OR with more confidence and a clearer understanding of the case.
This masterclass is for you if:
• You’ve seen appendectomy cases and felt confused or overwhelmed
• You want to better understand appendicitis and surgical decision-making
• You want to feel more confident during surgical rotations
• You want to understand what surgeons pay attention to in common emergency cases
What you’ll learn:
• Appendix anatomy and appendicitis pathophysiology
• Common symptoms, workup, and diagnosis
• Imaging and clinical evaluation
• Surgical indications and timing
• Laparoscopic appendectomy basics
• What to pay attention to in the OR
