6. Hepatobiliary surgery Flashcards
The liver has ____ lobes and the gb lives within the ______ division
6 lobes; gb within the central division
What are the names of the different divisions of the liver
- Right division
- Left division
- Central division
What lobes are located in the left division and indicate the severity of sx?
Left Lateral
Left Medial lobe
- Left side is easier to deal with surgically bc gallbladder isnt in the way or the caudal vena cava
What is located in the right lateral love and describe the difficulty of surgery?
Right lateral lobe
Caudate process of caudate lobe
papillary porcess of caudate lobe (2)
common bile duct
Right divison also involves blood supply, the caudal vena cava and portal vein and hepatic artery so this makes it way more challenging in terms of treatment
What is involved in the central lobe
- Right medial lobe
2.(BETWEEN is the gall ballder within hepatic fossa)
- Quadrate lobe
Blunt trauma to the liver often causes?
liver fracture
Gun shots arrows and bite wounds cause _____ wounds to the liver
penetrating
What CS do we see in relation to trauma of the liver?
CS related to acute blood loss
- weakness
- lethary
- hypovolemia
- distended abdomen filled with blood
In terms of trauma to the liver do we want to rush to surgery? If not what do we do?
Dont rush to surgery for exploratory start with conservative management and replacing fluids but not too much so it can blow off clots that are trying to form (so use low flow fluids) and Use PCV to monitor over 24 hours
In terms of trauma, the closer the injury is to the hilus the greater the likihood ______ will be necessary
surgery
What is the pringle manuever and what are the indications to use it
Having bleeding from the liver? The pringle maneuver stops blood flow temporarily!
Compress the blood flow from the hepatic artery and portal vein temporarily to stop bleeding, stuck your finger in the epiploic foramen and compress those vessels/
No longer than 15-20 minutes dont want to permanently occlude
Incision into gallbladder
Cholecystotomy
SX Removal of gallbladder
Cholecystectomy
Biliary diversion can be done through these 3 procedures?
- Cholecystoduodenostomy-bringing gb to duodenum
- Cholecystojejunostomy- bringing gb to jejunum
- Choledochoenterostomy-bringing gb and common bile duct to portion of small intestine
Before doing a tru cut needle biopsy what do you need to do? Wht guage of needle
NEED CBC and coag profiles, do this ultrasound guided if worried about bleeding post biopsy so need that too!
14 or 16 guage needle
Can do this through laparoscopy or exploratory celiotomy which is good bc we can stop bleeding we are seeing
Describe the name of the liver biopsy technique where you compress the hilar vessels with suture and cut distally to it?
Guillotine technique
What are the indications ofr a partial lobectomy of the liver? (4)
- Biopsy
- Neoplasia (more on the periphery of the liver)
- Trauma (cant really suture liver)
- Abscess
- Cysts
Which technique of partial lobectomy generally results in the most blood loss?
Parenchymal Fracture and Ligation
We can often use the stapling technique for lobestomy procedures but if its located at this region its more challenging, what should we do when using this technique?
Stapling technique; challenging at the hilus; put 3 lines of staples
When would we use surgities and what is indicated with this technique?
Good for tumors close to the hilus, braided suture with a knot in it, need at LEAST 2 to prevent bleeding
