91. Stomach Flashcards
what is the incisor angularis
angular notchmid point of lesser curvatureseparates antrum from cardianear area of the papillary process of the liver
blood supply of the stomach from the first branch of the aorta
- CELIAC artery from aorta—–hepatic (feeds liver/GB, R gastric, gastroduodenal—cranial pancreaticoduodenal, R gastroepiploic)—–left gastric—–splenic (feeds L limb pancreas, L gastroepiploic, short gastrics)
innervation of the stomach
parasym from vagussump from celiac plexus
3 layers of the muscular stomach layer
longitudinal–from esophagus to duodenuminner circular–part of LES sphincter/cardia; extends through thick greater curvature (function—grinding); NOT present in fundsoblique–in body and fundus
mucosal layer of stomach
- columnar surface epithelium2. glandular lamina propria3. thin lamina muscularis mucosa
Types of glands in the stomach
- cardiac glands: in cardia, antrum– SEROUS secretion2. pyloric glands: in pyloris, body–MUCUS secretion3. gastric glands: in fundus, body–parietal, chief, mucous neck, and endocrine cells
Gastric glands cell types and function
parietal cells: OXYNTIC, maintain acid pH by pumping H into lumen and make intrinsic factor (mucoprotein) that binds B12 for absorption in distal SIchief cells: secrete pepsinogen (converted to pepsin in acid environment)–breaks down proteinsmucous neck cells: secrete mucus to protect other gland cells from the action of enzymes and acidendocrine cells: produce gastrin, histamine, serotonin
T/Fthe decreased motility in the funds in response to gastric filling directly slows gastric emptying time
TRUEafter removal of fundus the rate of gastric emptying is greatly increased
T/Fgastric emptying rate of kibble/solid food is greatly influenced by coordination of contraction btwn pylorus & antrum; whereas the emptying of liquid is more influenced by fundus
TRUEgastric emptying rate of kibble/solid food is greatly influenced by coordination of contraction btwn pylorus & antrum; whereas the emptying of liquid is more influenced by fundus
healing characteristics of GI
–constant renewalwhen mucosa injured superficially–repaired by migration of epithelium (wo proliferation)when mucosa injured deeper (erosion)–repaired by epithelial regeneration and proliferation
define gastric ulcer and how does it heal
injury that extends into the SUBMUCOSAheals by fibrotic repair process
in contrast to other healing tissues, what makes collagen in the stomach after injury
fibroblasts AND smooth muscle cells make collagen
episodes of gastric reflux while under GA according to Wilson et al AJVR 2006
> 50% dogs have refluxBUTonly 14% go noticedtherefore a large amount of “silent regurgitation” occursmay predispose to esophagitis and esophageal stricture
recommendations of fasting prior to GA/surgery according to Savvas et al 2009 Vet Anesth Analgesia
small amount of canned food 3 hours prior to surgery to decrease gastric acidity and clinical impact of GER while having minimal to no impact of gastric volume

Lavage fluid temperature recommendations based on JAAHA 2005 Nawrocki et al
99-102 Froom temp lavage sign decrease body temphi temp (110 F) lavage sign incr body temp–may result in vasodilation, hypotensionand increase adhesion formation–potentially detrimental to organ systems to be too hot
suture materials in acid pH <2 polydiaxanone, polyglecaprone 25, polyglyconate
polydiaxanone: half life was 10x shorter in pH 2 vs 7Half livespolydiaxanone: 12 dayspolyglyconate: 75 dayspolyglecaparone: 15 dayssupports maxon (polyglyconate) or monocryl (polyglecaparone) in gastric surgery
T/Fuse of skin stapling device for gastropexy provided results similar to hand sewn belt loop gastropexy with regard to tensile strength
TRUEuse of skin stapling device for gastropexy provided results similar to hand sewn belt loop gastropexy with regard to tensile strength
types of gastropexies
–incisional–belt loop (strength similar to circumcostal)–base greater curve–skin stapling device–GIA stapler–laparoscopic assisted–total laparoscopic stapled (sign weaker at 7 days but no diff in 30 d)–endoscopically assisted–incorporating–to linea alba; no incision–circumcostal (mechanically strongest–109N)–base lesser curve–gastrocolopexy–greater curve to transverse colon; scarified (no incision)–tube gastropexy
criteria to determine gastric viability
- thickness2. pulsation–evidence of serosa capillary perfusion3. peristalsis4. serosa color5. incise into seromuscular layer to look for bleeding6. fluorescin dye (58% accurate)7. scintigraphy (80% accurate)8. laser doppler flowmetrysubjective criteria 85% accurate
incisional gastropexy size and layers
4-5 cm seromuscular layer of gastric antrumcorresponding incision into peritoneum and transverse abdominis muscle (lateral or ventral lateral); 2-3 cm caudal to rib RIGHT sided for the prevention of GDV
pyloric surgical options to treat pyloric luminal obstructions
- Fredet–Ramstedt pyloromyotomy: LONG PARTIAL incision through SM; does NOT penetrate (can’t get bx); left open with mucosa/submucosa bulging2. Heineke–Milkulicz pyloroplasty: LONG FULL THICKNESS incision closed transversely; can obtain biopsy3. Y-U Advancement pyloroplasty
compare pyloromyotomy (FR) vs pyloroplasty (HM) in terms of gastric emptying
Gastric emptying of solids was significantly enhanced in dogs undergoing pyloroplasty, but pyloromyotomy did not significantly change gastric emptying relative to preoperative values (other studies reported no change to slowed gastric emptying)
types of gastro–intestinal anastomoses
BILLROTH 1 (gastroduodenal)–pylorectomy with gastroduodenal anastomosisBILLROTH 2 (gastrojejunal)–partial gastrectomy/pylorectomy with gastrojejunal anastomosis–jejunum is attached to stomach in a side to side fashion (Roux en Y is end to side anastomosis)–poor px+/- biliary diversion procedures with either
