Q

Why do gastric FB often have intermittent clinical signs?

A

Peristalsis will naturally move the foreign body towards the pylorus, but generally gastric foreign bodies move around in the stomach so that they do not cause a complete obstruction all of the time

Q

How does haematemsis occur with gastric FB?

A

Haematemesis occurs in conditions where there is sufficient mucosal trauma such that there is enough bleeding that the blood can be visible in the gastric contents AND where there is vomiting.

Q

What “Type” of pattern should be used to close the stomach sub/mucosa where a large resection has happened? Why?

A

Appositional pattern is probably preferable to an inverting pattern in cases where a large resection has been performed because an appositional pattern will not narrow the gastric lumen.

52
Q

How is gastric wall invagination performed?

A
  1. A continuous inverting suture pattern is placed in healthy tissue on each side of the necrotic portion of stomach wall. (This invaginates the necrotic portion of stomach into the gastric lumen.)

A second continuous inverting line of sutures is placed alongside the first to further invaginate the stomach. An absorbable monofilament suture material, size 3 metric, should be used for this. The necrotic portion of the stomach sloughs into the gastric lumen and the stomach heals along the double layer of inverting sutures that were placed in healthy tissue.

Q

Can you think of any advantages of performing gastric wall invagination for managing a necrotic portion of stomach? (2)

A
  • Apposition of healthy tissue over necrotic stomach wall without penetration into the gastric lumen and therefore with no risks of spillage of gastric contents.
  • Quicker than performing a partial gastrectomy; it is beneficial to minimise the anaesthetic time in patients that are cardiovascularly unstable.

A

A

FALSE- most malignant gastric tumours affect the lesser curvature where access for surgery is difficult and a wide margin of excision (necessary for treating malignant disease to avoid local recurrence) is rarely possible.

simple interrupted appositional sutures using a monofilament absorbable suture material.
Single layer

80
Q

True or false:
With gastric mass biopsy; No attempt should be made to invert the suture line and a single layer of sutures should be placed.

A

True

81
Q

If the tissue is very thick and abnormal there is a risk that the sutures could “cheese wire” through, with a gastric mass. How would you close this?

Submucosal resection of a mass is achieved as follows:
1 Place stay sutures around the proposed gastrotomy site in the stomach wall on the opposite side to the mass.
2. Make a gastrotomy incision.

Next step?

91
Q

A

Close the defect using a simple continuous monofilament absorbable suture material (1.5, 2 or 3 metric) placed in the mucosa/submucosa.

92
Q

A

Close the gastrotomy incision using 1.5-3 metric monofilament suture material in a two-layer pattern.

94
Q

Causes of gastric ulcers? (9)

A

NSAIDS
Glucocorticoids
Renal dx
Hepatic dx
Neoplasia
FB
MCT
Gastrinoma
Exogenous toxins

95
Q

What is the theory behind NSAIDS -> ulcer?

A
  • a direct topical effect of the weakly acidic and lipid soluble NSAID on the gastric mucosa;
  • a systemic inhibition of cyclooxygenase resulting in decreased gastroprotective prostaglandin production. This will result in reduced gastric mucosal blood flow, epithelial mucus production, bicarbonate secretion and epithelial turnover.
96
Q

The reason as to why glucocorticoids cause ulcers is unknown. But what is proposed? (3)

A
  • Decreased mucus production,
  • Decreased mucosal cell renewal
  • Changes in gastric mucus composition
97
Q

Proposed theory for renal dx - ulcers?

A

increased gastric acid secretion secondary to hypergastrinemia (because of reduced renal gastrin clearance)

98
Q

Proposed theory for hepatic dx - ulcers? (2)

A

increased gastric acid production stimulated by increased circulating levels of gastrin and histamine secondary to the reduced hepatic metabolism of these compounds;

derangement of mucosal blood flow that can occur with portal hypertension and thrombosis of gastric vessels.

99
Q

How FB cause ulcers?

A

These cause physical erosion or abrasive trauma to the gastric mucosal surface.

100
Q

How to MCT cause gastric ulcers?

A

Affected animals can have increased circulating histamine levels that will stimulate gastric acid production and predispose to gastric ulcers.

101
Q

How do gastrinoma cause gastric ulcers?

A

Excessive production of gastrin by this tumour will increase gastric acid production.

102
Q

What may prevent peritonitis with a gastric ulcer rupture?

A

Omental adhesions

103
Q

Signs of gastric ulcer? (4)

A
  • Lethargy
  • Anorexia
  • Abdo pain
  • V+
104
Q

How can x-rays be used to diagnose gastric ulcers?

  • Likely to look normal (unless underlying FB/mass)
  • If perforates; free abdo gas may be identified
105
Q

What may be seen on ultrasound with gastric ulcers? (6)

A
  • FB
  • Mass
  • Thickening; loss of layers
  • Bright mesenteric fat
  • Free peritoneal air

106
Q

What may support evidence of peritonitis with abdocentesis + gastric ulcer? (4)

113
Q

What structure runs in the hepatoduodenal ligament that we must take great care not to cut?

A

Common bile duct

114
Q

At surgery pyloric and proximal duodenal ulcers are difficult to remove, what should happen with these?

A

These ulcers should be debrided and sutured (full-thickness simple interrupted sutures using 2 or 3 metric monofilament absorbable suture material) or resected with closure as above.

115
Q

What should happen with debrided/resected tissue?

A

Histopath

116
Q

Incisional

117
Q

Before pexy - how do you know the stomach is in the right place?

A

Pylorus - RHS

118
Q

Where is the incision for an incisional pexy and how long?

A

A 3-5 cm incision is made in the ventral surface of the pyloric antrum midway between the greater and lesser curvatures of the stomach.

119
Q

What happens to the seromuscular layers during an incisional pexy?

A

The 0.5 cm area adjacent to the incision are bluntly dissected from the deeper submucosal/mucosal layers to encourage lifting and separation of the seromuscular layer for ease and accuracy of subsequent suturing to the body wall.

120
Q

Following gastric incision, what incision is then made during a pexy? Where? Orientation?

A

Corresponding incision - through the peritoneum and transverse abdominal oblique muscle just behind the last rib
Approx one third of the distance from the ventral to the dorsal midline.
Orientation perpendicular to the midline coeliotomy incision or parallel to the last rib.

Following muscle + gastric incision, what happens next during a pexy? Include suture pattern + size

A
  • The seromuscular layer of the stomach along the cranial aspect of the incision made in the pyloric antrum is then sutured to the cranial part of the incision made in the body wall using either simple interrupted or a simple continuous pattern and monofilament slowly absorabable suture material. Suture one side then the other
    Three metric suture material would be a suitable size to use in a large or giant breed of dog. The suture is continued so that the seromuscular layer along the caudal edge of the incision in the stomach is sutured to the caudal edge of the incision in the body wall.
