indigestion/heart burn
abdomen pain
nausea
diarrheaa
bloating
loss appetite
sensation of food getting stuck in the throat while eating
weakness/fatigue
vomiting blood

44
Q

Anastomosis

A

join together two hallow organs usually to restore continuity after resection or the bypass an unresectable disease process

45
Q

where/when are anastmoses performed

A
  1. blood vessels
  2. GI tract (esophagus, stomach, small bowel, large bowel, bile ducts, pancreas)
  3. urinary tract
46
Q

types of anastomeses

A
  1. end to end
  2. end to side
  3. side to side
  4. functional end to end
47
Q

how many types of anastomoses are there

48
Q

what is the angle of his

A

the acute angle created between the cardia at the entrance of the stomach and esophagus

49
Q

how many sphincters in the stomach

50
Q

what are the sphincters in the stomach

A
  1. pyloric sphincter
  2. esophageal sphincter
51
Q

ligament of treitz

A

suspensory muscle of the duodenum = marks the end of the upper gastrointestinal system

52
Q

the most common form of anastomosis

A

end to end

53
Q

end to end anastomoses

A

most common form. the ends of the tubular structures are sutured together at the point of incision

54
Q

this anastomosis joins the end to the side

A

end to side

55
Q

end to side

A

this anastomosis joins the end of a tubular structure to the side of another structure.

56
Q

when is end to side anastomosis used?

A

bariatric procedures (gastric bypass)

57
Q

side to side

A

joins the sides of two structures.

58
Q

when is side to side used

A

gastric bypass (joining of two portions of jejunum

59
Q

functional end to end

A

bowel is mobilized bowel ends are approximated, a common stoma (opening) is created, and finally the common opening is closed

60
Q

when is functional end to end used?

A

bowel resection

61
Q

gastrojejunostomy

A

a small part of the stomach is used to create a new stomach pouch connected directly to the jejunum

62
Q

gastric bypass access steps:

A
  1. identify trocar sites and insert to gain access
  2. mobilize the upper portion of stomach and take down adhesions
63
Q

goals of the gastric bypass access steps

A
  1. safe laproscopic entry w/o injury to viscera or other internal structures
  2. maintain pneumoperitoneum
  3. optimize visualization
  4. gain exposure and mobilize the upper portion of the stomach in preparation for stapling
  5. provide reliable hemostasis and minimize thermal damage to surrounding tissue
64
Q

steps for gastric repair (7)

A
  1. create gastric pouch
  2. transect the jujunum
  3. transect the jujunal mesentery and create the enterotomies in prep for the jejunojejunostomy
  4. perform jejunojejunostomy and close the otomy
  5. create the otomoies in the stomach pouch and jujunum
  6. perform the gastrojejunostomy
  7. perform a leak test
65
Q

Jejunojejunostomy

A

a surgical technique used in an anastomosis between two portions of the jejunum

66
Q

steps of gastric bypass closure

A
  1. close mesentary defects, and place any drains
  2. close trocar defects
  3. apply topical skin adhesive
67
Q

surgical goals of gastric bypass repair gastric pouch step

A
  1. maintain compression to ensure uniform leak free hemostatic staple line
  2. achieve good consistent staple lines in wide range of tissue thickness
68
Q

surgical goals of gastric by pass transcect jujunum step

A
  1. maintain appropriate compression to ensure uniform hemostatic staple lines
  2. fully transect the jejunum
69
Q

surgical goals of gastric by pass transect jejunal mesentary step (3)

A
  1. transect and seal the mesenteric vessels
  2. minimize trauma to surrounding tissue and structures
  3. create an otomy in the small bowel to facilitate the creation of the jejunojejunostomy
70
Q

surgical goals of gastric bypass jejunojejunostomy and close ostomy step

A
  1. hemostatic and secure staple lines
  2. secure, leak free anastomosis
  3. secure, fluid-tight closure of the otomy
71
Q

surgical goals of gastric bypass create stomach ostomies step

A
  1. minimize thermal damage to surrounding tissues
  2. hemostatic, secure, leak free anastamosis
  3. achieve good consistent staple lines in a wide range of tissue thickness
72
Q

surgical goals of gastric bypass perform leak test step

A
  1. confirm integrity of anastomosis
  2. control any bleeding oozing
73
Q

surgical goals of gastric bypass close mesentery defects step

A
  1. prevent postoperative intestinal herniation
  2. evacuate any blood or fluid from the abdominal cavity to identify staple line issues
74
Q

surgical goals of gastric bypass closed trocar step

A
  1. prevent wound dehiscense while maintaining tight closure
  2. address risks associated with surgical site infection, trocar site herniation
75
Q

surgical goals of gastric bypass apply topical skin adhesive step

A
  1. added strength and protection to incisions
  2. help address risk factors for postoperative
