Q

Peritoneal dialysis

A

Soluble substances and excess water are removed from the system by transfer across the peritoneum using a dilute sterile solution that is introduced into the peritoneal cavity on one side and then drained from the other side. Diffusible solutes and water are transferred between the blood and the peritoneal cavity as a result of concentration gradients between the two fluid compartments.

Q

What is the clinical significance of an intestine in the omental bursa?

A

It can bcome strangulated by the edges of the foramen. None of the boundaries of the foramen can be incised because each contains blood vessels, so the intestine must be decompressed using a needle so it can be returned to the greater sac of the peritoneal cavity through the omental foramen.

Q

adhesiotomy

A

The surgical separation of adhesions.
These adhesions may form if the peritoneum is damaged, because the paritoneal surfaces become inflamed and sticky with fibrin. The fibrin may be replaced by fibrous tissue.

Q

Types of hiatal hernias

A

Sliding hiatal hernia - common, the abdominal part of the esophagus, the cardia, and parts of the fundus of the stomach slide superiorly through the esophageal hiatus into the thorax. Some regurgitation of stomach contents into the esophagus is possible because the clamping action of the right crus of the diaphragm on the inferior end of the esophagus is weak

Para-esophageal hiatal hernia - the cardia remains in its normal position and a pouch of peritoneum containing the fundus of the stomach (often) extends through the esophageal hiatus anterior to the esophagus.

Pylorospasm
Failure of the smooth muscle fibers encircling the pyloric canal to relax normally
26
Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
A marked thickening of the smooth muscle in the pylorus. The elongated overgrown pylorus is hard and the pyloric canal narrow, resisting gastric emptying. Proximally the stomach may become secondarily dilated because of the pyloric stenosis. Genetic factors probably involved.
27
A marked thickening of the smooth muscle in the pylorus. | The elongated overgrown pylorus is hard and the pyloric canal narrow, resisting gastric emptying.
Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
28
What would have to be removed to ensure splenic lymph nodes were removed?
Spleen, gastrospelnic and splenorenal ligaments, and the body and tail of the pancreas
29
Total removal of the stomach
Total gastrectomy
30
Common gastric carcinoma location
Pylorus
31
Lymph nodes requiring removal in carcinoma of stomach in pylorus
Pyloric lymph nodes and right gastro-omental lymph nodes
32
Gastric ulcer
Open lesions of the mucosa of the stomach, mostly associated with helicobacter pylori
33
Peptic ulcer
Lesions of the mucosa of the pyloric canal, or more often the duodenum, mostly associated with helicobacter pylori.
34
Why might a vagotomy be performed?
To reduce the production of acid in persons with chronic or recurring ulcers
35
Resection of an ulcerated area
Antrectomy (this is specifically for resection of the pyloric antrum)
36
Antrectomy
Resection of ulcerated area (of the pyloric antrum)
37
A meckel diverticulum is also known as an ____ and is a remnant of the ______.
Ileal diverticulum, | Proximal part of the omphaloenteric duct
38
Different types of vagotomies
Truncal – surgical section of the vagal trunks Selective gastric – stomach devervated but the vagal branches to the pylorus, liver and biliary ducts, intestines, and celiac plexus are preserved Selective proximal vagotomy – denervates the area in which the parietal cells are located
39
When a patient has a posterior gastric ulcer, what is a concern?
Erosion of the splenic artery that results in severe hemorrhage into the peritoneal cavity.
40
True or false: Pain impulses from the stomach may persist after a complete vagotomy.
True. Pain impulses are carried by visceral afferent fibers that accompany sympathetic nerves. The vagal nerve is part of the parasympathetic system.
41
Rebound tenderness
when digital pressure is applied to the anterolateral abdominal wall over the site of inflammation and suddenly removed and extreme localized pain is felt. Indicates parietal peritoneum pain (as opposed to visceral. Not that you can’t have both)
42
Most common location of peptic/dudoenal ulcers
The posterior wall of the superior duodenum within 3 cm of the pylorous. (Hemorrhage of the gastroduodenal artery is a concern when peptic ulcers are present.)
43
Know the dermatomes for referred pain.
Pg. 257 Some pain corresponds to location pretty well. The gallbladder comes up the back quite a bit, as well as the stomach. The liver is a bit farther down on the back. Pain arising from foregut derivatives – esophagus, stomach, pancreas, duodenum, liver, and biliary ducts – localizes in the epigastric region. Pain arising from midgut derivatives – the small intestine distal to bile duct, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, and most of the transverse colon – localizes in the peri-umbilical region Pain arising from hindgut derivatives – the distal part of the transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum – localizes in the hypogastric region Liver, gallbladder, and duodenum may irritate diaphragm and cause pain near the right shoulder
44
The liver, gallbladder, and duodenum may irritate the diaphragm and cause pain near the ___.
Right shoulder
45
Paraduodenal hernia
Intestine becomes strangulated in the paraduodenal fold and/or fossa to the left of the ascending part of the duodenum (The strangulation is the problem, otherwise benign). Upon removal, care must be taken not to injure the branches of the inferior mesenteric artery.and vein or ascending branches of the left colic artery
46
McBurney’s point location
a third of the way along the oblique line joining the right anterior superior iliac spine to the umbilicus
47
volvulus
Twisting of the intestine
48
Another word for proximal
orad
49
Another word for distal
aborad
50
Ischemia of intestine
occlusion of the vasa recta can occur (by emboli) and result in ischemia of the part of the intestine concerned. Necrosis can occur and ileus of the paralytic type can occur. Ileus is accompanied by a severe colicky pain, along with abdominal distension, vomiting, and often fever and dehydration.
51
Ileus
obstruction of the intestine. Accompanied by severe colicky pain, along with abdominal distension, vomiting, and often fever and dehydration
52
Obstruction of the intestine
ileus
53
Ileal diverticulum
AKA Meckel diverticulum, congenital anomaly that occurs in 1-2% of population. A remnant of the proximal part of the embryonic omphaloenteric duct, appears as a finger-like pouch. May also include areas of gastric tissue, pancreatic tissue, or jejunal or colonic mucosa. May mimick appendicitis.
54
Alternate positions of appendix
retrocecal = extends superiorly toward the right colic flexure and is usually free May project inferiorly toward or across the pelvic brim
55
Organs associated with a positive psoas sign
kidneys, ureters, cecum, appendix, sigmoid colon, pancreas, lumbar lymph nodes and nerves of the posterior abdominal wall
56
In most people, the right hepatic artery crosses ___ to the hepatic portal vein.
anterior
57
In most people, the right hepatic artery runs ___ to the common hepatic duct.
posterior
58
Portosystemic shunts
Between hepatic portal vein and IVC (portocaval anastamosis or portosystemic shunt), joid kn splenic vein and left renal vein (splenorenal anastamosis or shunt) reduces portal hypertension
59
Transplanted kidneys are placed in the ____ of the greater pelvis due to the lack of ___, and also the availability of ___.
iliac fossa, inferior support in the lumbar region, major blood vessels and convenient access to the nearby bladder.
60
primordium of the renal pelvis and ureter (embryonic origin)
ureteric bud
61
rectocaval ureter
ureter leaves the kidney and passes posterior to the IVC
62
lithotripsy
a technique that focuses a shockwave through the body that breaks the calculus into small fragments that pass with the urine.
63
foramen of Bochdalek
or congenital diaphragmatic hernia; part of the stomach and intestine herniate through a large posterolateral defect in the region of the lumbocostal trigone of the diaphragm 76% mortality rate because of the consequent pulmonary hypoplasia
64
Organs associated with a positive psoas sign
kidneys, ureters, cecum, appendix, sigmoid colon, pancreas, lumbar lymph nodes and nerves of the posterior abdominal wall
65
Collateral routes of IVC
Superior and inferior epigastric veins; the thoraco-epigastric vain; epidural venous plexus insid ethe vertebral column ---> lumbar veins ---> azygous system of veins
