Abdominal Sx Flashcards
indicated for umbilical hernias
umbilical herniorrhapy
uncomplicated hernia
reducible hernia
hernia w/ abscess
partially reducible hernia
abscess and hernia (complicated by incarceration, adhesion, or strangulation)
irreducible hernia
position for umbilical herniorrhapy
dorsal recum
analgesia for umbilical herniorrhapy
- cranial epidural analgesia w/ field block cranial to umbilicus
- GA
type of irreducible where there are adhesions between hernial contents and hernial sac (peritoneal fluid,, greater omentum, abomasum, LI)
hernia accreta
type of irreducible where there is incarceration of viscera by hernial ring
incarcerated hernia
best for hernia accreta or incarcerated hernia
amputation of internal hernial sac
closing for hernial ring
horizontal mattress or Mayo suture pattern
when all sutures have been inserted, ____________________ is applied on all sutures to close hernial ring
steady traction
best for reducible hernia
replacement of internal hernial sac
best for very large hernial ring
closure of hernial ring using alloplastic material (mesh)
material and pattern to hold mesh
non-ab; SI
suture mat for closure of ring (reducible)
- smooth non-ab
- monofilament nylon
- multifilament sheathed nylon
- stainless steel
SC tissue suture pattern
continuous to obliterate dead space
skin suture pattern
SI
in females, a _______________ is reco for support
belly bandage
T/F: restrict pre- and postop feed intake to reduce tension on wound edges
T
reasons for failure of repair
- sutures cutting thru tissues due to excessive tension
- sutures tied tightly
- ring too large
- margin of ring too rigid
- excess activity post-op
- infxn
post-op management for herniorrhapy
- systemic antibiotics 3-5 d
- water only for 2 days
- calf confinement
- wound cleaning (diluted povidone iodine)
herniorrhaphy complications
- seroma (leads to abscessation)
- hematoma
- dehiscence w/ prolapse of omentum (treat ASAP)
indicated for infxn of umbilical cord due to abscessation of urachus
resection of urachal fistula
can be used to determine the direction and depth of fistula
probe
anesth for resection of urachal fistula
- caudal epidural w/ field block cranial to umbilicus
- GA
