This document provides an overview of the abdominal surgery curriculum for appendectomy. It discusses the indications for and differences between laparoscopic versus open appendectomy. The benefits of the laparoscopic approach include shorter hospital stays, faster return to work, fewer wound infections, and better cosmetic results. Considerations for anesthesia include fluid management, issues related to pneumoperitoneum, and special precautions for pregnancy. Sample board review questions are provided to test understanding of concepts like hypotension during insufflation and appropriate interventions.
