Q

Tx of duodenal diverticula- if pancreatic and biliary structures not involved

A 
The most common and effective tx is diverticulectomy

23
Q

What may be used as an adjunct during arteriography for acute mesenteric ischemia?

A

Vasodilating agents, such as papverine and tolazoline

24
Q

What is chronic mesenteric ischemia caused by?

A

Atherosclerotic dz of the celiac axis, SMA, or IMA

25
Q

What are the common collateral circuits in chronic mesenteric ischemia?

A

The celiac artery and the gastroduodenal artery
The SMA and pancreatic branches
The SMA and IMA through the meandering mesenteric artery and the marginal artery of Drummond
The left colic and middle colic arteries

26
Q

What is present only in occlusive disease?

A

The meandering mesenteric artery

27
Q

Gold standard of dx of chronic mesenteric ischemia

A

Arteriography, which detects occlusion or stenosis of the celiac axis, the SMA, and the presence of collateral vessels

28
Q

Tx of chronic mesenteric ischemia

A

Surgical reconstruction or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without a stent

29
Q

When is surgery used for chronic mesenteric ischemia?

A

Often used in younger pts with fewer comorbidities, while endovascular approaches may be preferred for the elderly and infirm

30
Q

Contraindications to surgery for chronic mesenteric ischemia

A

Extrinsic compression of the celiac axis by the median arcuate ligament because it has a high failure rate

31
Q

Frequently described techniques of surgical reconstruction for chronic mesenteric ischemia

A

Bypass grafting
Endarterectomy
Reimplantation

32
Q

Small bowel neoplasms

A

The rapid transit of material through the samll bowel and low intraluminal pH may protect the mucosa from contact with carcinogens + highly evolved immune system

33
Q

What is the most common type of benign neoplasm?

A

Adenoma

34
Q

What are the three types of adenomas?

A

Tubular
Vilious
Brunner’s gland

35
Q

Where are vilious adenomas most commonly found?

A

Duodenum

36
Q

What is considered a large vilious adenoma?

A

> 5 cm

Significant malignant potential

37
Q

Brunner’s gland adenoma

A

Found in the duodenum and are caused by hyperplastic proliferation of nl submucosal exocrine glands
No malignant potential
Resection reserved for sx

38
Q

Tx for benign neoplasms

A

Surgical intervention is indicated bc of the possibility of CA and the risks of mechanical complications
Operation usually consists of segmental resection and primary anastomosis, though small lesions may simply be excised

39
Q

What are the most common symptomatic benign tumor of the small bowel?

A

Leiomyomas

40
Q

Where are leiomyomas most commonly located?

A

Jejunum

41
Q

What is the most common indication for operative management of leiomyomas?

A

Bleeding

42
Q

Where are lipomas most commonly located?

A

Most often intramural and located in the ileum

43
Q

Hamartoma

A

Commonly occur as part of Peutz-Jegher’s syndrome, an autosomal dominant-inherited syndrome characterized by mucocutaneous melanotic pigmentation and GI polyps
Increased risk for the development of malignancies

44
Q

Where are hemartomas usually located?

A

Jejunum and ileum

45
Q

Presentation of hemartomas

A

Pts have small, 1-2 mm brown-black spots on the circumoral region of the face, buccal mucosa, palms and soles, lips, digits, and perianal area

46
Q

Where are hemangiomas most commonly found?

A

Jejunum

47
Q

Presentation of hemangiomas

A

Onset of bleeding may be the only presenting symptom

48
Q

Diagnostic test for hemangiomas

A

Angiography and Tc-labeled RBC scanning

49
Q

Tx for hemangiomas

A

If the lesion can be localized, conservative resection is recommended
If the lesion cannot be localized, intraoperative or localization via intra-operative enteroscopy may be helpful

50
Q

What are the most common malignant neoplasms of the small bowel?

A

Adenocarcinoma
Sarcoma
Lymphoma
Carcinoid tumors

51
Q

Presentation of malignant neoplasms

A

Weight loss
Diarrhea
Obstructive sx

52
Q

Tx options for malignant neoplasms

A

Wilde surgical resection with regional lymph node bx
Palliative resection
Intestinal bypass to relieve sx or prevent complications

53
Q

Where are adenocarcinomas more common?

A

Duodenum and jejunum

54
Q

~50% of adenocarcinomas involve what?

A

Ampulla of Vater

55
Q

RFs for adenocarcinomas

A

Adenomatous polyps
Polyposis syndromes
Crohn’s dz
