Which organ is NOT listed among abdominal surgery targets in the material?

Abdominal surgery targets in this material emphasize organs with the most frequent, routine procedures: the gallbladder, liver, and appendix. The gallbladder is central to cholecystectomy for gallbladder disease, the liver is a common site for various hepatic surgeries, and the appendix is the focus of appendectomy for appendicitis. The spleen, while located in the left upper quadrant and accessible through the abdomen, isn’t listed among the targets in this material. Splenectomy tends to be discussed as a more specialized procedure, often in contexts like trauma or hematologic disease, and isn’t part of the standard target set covered here. So the spleen isn’t included among the abdominal surgery targets in the material.
