CREOG Review Flashcards
What positioning causes the majority of femoral nerve compression? P/w? MCC? RF’s? Trmt?
Extreme flexion, abduction and external rotation of the hip can cause femoral nerve to be compressed under inguinal ligament. Cutaneous dysthesia in anterior/medial thigh, anteromedial leg/foot, decreased leg extension and thigh flexion, most objective = decreased/absent knee reflex. MCC’s = poor positioning, compression from retractors & hematoma, suture transfixation, surgical transection. RF’s = BMI
Causes of postpartum incontinence? Work-up? Trmt?
MCC = anal sphincter injuries, pudendal nerve injury, neuro (MS), GI (IBS) and Rx’s. PE for sphincter tone assessment and endoanal U/S. Only 35% of those with e/o sphincter probs on U/S were incontinent. Fecal incontinence = 60 sensitive and 80% specific for sphincter injury. Trmt = EMG biofeedback for weakness but no anatomic deficit. Anal sphincteroplasty if + anatomic deficit AND symptomatic. Neurophysiologic testing for those suspected with pudendal injury.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (Ddx = chron’s folliculitis, and granulomatous STI). RF’s = obesity, DM, perianal antiperspirant use, androgen excess, poor hygiene, smoking. Patho = follicular hyperkeratosis w/ plugging of pore. Vulvular SCC = 5% w/ dx. Medical therapies = long-term antibiotics, antiandrogens, retinoic acid, cyclosporin. Surgery if refractory and extensive. Complications = scarring, draining sinuses, cutaneous fistulae
