Q

Formalin:

  • Frozen Section or Embedded Section?
  • How does it work?
A

Formalin Fixation is used in the Embedded Section process - this is not used intraoepratively/ in emergency

  • Used in conjunction with wax and in general is better in terms of quality than Frozen sections
  • time consuming process

Works by causing crosslinking of collagen fibres maintaing architectural integrity of samples.

Clostridium Difficile

  • Basic Bacteriology
  • Toxins
  • What facilitates its transmission
  • What is a spore
  • Risk Factors
  • Drugs used for treatment of C Diff
  • Treatment of Toxic Megacolon
A

Gram Positive, Spore Forming Rod - Facultative Anaerobe

Risk Factors - Antibiotics, Anti Acids, Transmission

Treatment - Metronidazole PO, Vancomycin PO, Fidoxamicin

Toxic Megacolon - Resuscitate patient. Usually no place for further antibiotics. Laparatomy - Subtotal Colectomy + End Ileostomy Formation

Q

Why do abscesses form?

A

50
Q

Appendix

What is it

Possible positional variants

Why the propensity to necrosis?

Why do caecums perforate

A

Appendix is a blind ending tubular structure originating from the caecum

It is usually

i) retrocaecal or ii) retrocolic

but can also be

iiI) pelvic iv) pre-ileal or v) retroileal

Appendices undergo rapid necrosis as appendicular arter is an end artery therefore if compromised the appendix becomes ischaemic rapidly

Caecum perforate - thin walled and an intact ileocaaecal valve prevent the dispersion of pressure

51

A

It is held up by the:

i) Greater omentum which originates from the greater curvature of stomach + first part of duodenum drapes across the small intestine and envelops the transerve colon
ii) Transverse mesentery/mesocolon which is connected to the posterior abdominal wall

Descending Colon is usually i) retroperitoneal but when ii) intrapertioneal has a short mesentery

Q

1) Which Kidney Sits Higher?
2) L Renal Vein vs R Renal Vein
3) L Renal Art vs R Renal Art
4) describe path of R ureter

A

1) Left. Right is lower due to liver
2) L renal vein passes anterior to aorta just inferior to SMA . It has two tributaries adrenal + gonadal vein.
3) R Renal art passes posterior to IVC to reach kidney. Its origin is slightly inferior to that of the L Renal ARt
4) Exits pelvis and descends on psoas major just lat. to IVC. Crossos Iliac bifurcation then crosses obt. nerve + ant. int. iliac art. branches.

62
Q

1) Structures at renal hilum

2) Layers surrounding kidney

3) Relations of kidney

A

1) Renal hilum (on concave surface of kidney) - Renal Vein, Artery + Ureter
2) Out to in . Perirenal fat, Capsule, gerota’s fascia, pararenal fat

3)

L - Ant. - Adrenal, spleen, stomach, Splenic flexure, pancreas, jejunum

Post. - QL, Psoas, Transversus Abdominis Diaphagm, 11+12 rib,

R - Ant. - Adrenal, Liver, 2nd part duodenum, hepatic flexure

Post. - Diaphragm, 12th rib, Psoas, QL, Transversus Abdominis,

63
Q

1) Classic description of how ureters enter the bladder
2) Blood supply of ureters

A

They travel posterioinferiorly on pelvic wall and then pass anteromedially to enter the posterior aspect of bladder

Ureter blood supply:

Segmental

Upper - Renal Art.

Middle - CIA, Gonodal, Aorta

Lower - IIA, Sup. Vesic. Art, Mid. Rect. Art, Men - Inf. Vesic. Women- Uterine + vaginal art.

64
Q

Why is ureteric pain referred to the back and sides?

A

Supplying nerves travel to spinal segments T12- L2

T12 - L2 dermatomes are back, sides, scrotum/labia majora + upper thigh
