Clinical Cases

Here are several cases for some very common scenarios you will encounter as a general surgeon. These cases are by no means exhaustive of the scope of general surgery, but provide a starting point for framing how you manage common conditions. They are not designed to be disgnostic mysteries, but instead are meant to emphasize diagnostic and management strategies. While these strategies will differ from one institution to another, there are a lot of common elements considered to be standard of care.

If you find inaccurate or controversial information please contact me and I will adjust accordingly.

Case 1: Acute appendicitis
