GU/GYN Flashcards
R renal artery crosses anterior or posterior to IVC
Posterior!
Anterior to renal calyx
L renal v crosses anterior or posterior to aorta
Anterior
Which renal v can be ligated due to icnreased collaterals
Left renal v
Seminal vesicles are connected to
vas deferens
Spermatic cord structures
testicular artery, pampiniform plexus, vas deferens, cremasteric muscle, ilioinguinal nerve, genital branch of genitofemoral nerve
calcium oxalate stones are increased in pts whop have had what previous surgery
TI resection due to increased oxalate absorption in colon
Struvite stones occur with infections with what bacteria
Proteus mirabilis
Urease producing
Cause staghorn calculi
Uric acid stones are increased in pts with what 3 diseases
ileostomies
gout
myeloproliferative disorders
They are RADIOLUCENT
Which type of stone is radiopaque
Struvite
How to prevent cysteine stones
tiopronin
Stones greater than what size are unlikely to pass
6 mm
1 testicular tumor
seminoma
Seminoma - sensitivity to XRT?
Extremely sensitive
Seminoma with AFP elevation
Shouldn’t be! Treat like non seminomatous
tx for seminoma
orchiectomy and retroperitoneal XRT
Chemo in seminoma - what types and when
Reserved for mets or bulky retroperitoneal disesase
cisplatin, bleomycin, VP-16
90% of non seminomatous testicular CA have what markers
AFP and b-HCG
At what stage do non seminomatous testicular CA receive adjuvant chemo
Stage II or greater
Cisplatin, bleomycin, VP-16
MC site of prostate ca
posterior lobe
most common mets for prostate CA
bone
what are options if intracapsular prostate CA and no mets (T1 and T2)
XRT
OR
radical prostatectomy + pelvic LND (if life span >10 years)
Option for prostate CA with extracapsular invasion or metastatic disease
XRT + androgen ablation with leuoprolide, flutamide or bilateral orchiectomy
Leuprolide MOA
GnRH agonist
Flutamide MOA
testosterone receptor blocker
Stage IA prostate CA found with TURP - tx?
nothing
With prostatectomy, how long should it take for PSA to go to 0?
3 weeks
If it doesnt decrease get bone scan to check for mets
What should worry you in a pt with prostate CA with increased alk phos
mets or extracapsular disease
Most common location for RCC met
lung
Radical nephrectomy takes what organs along with the kidney
adrenal gland
Also fat, Gerotas fascia, and regional nodes
Partial nephrectomy is indicated in RCC if..
pt would require dialysis after nephrectomy (tumor <4 cm, cr > 2.5)
MC tumor in kidney
metastasis from breast CA
RCC paraneoplastic syndromes
renin, erythropoietin, PTHrp, ACTH, insulin
Tx for transitional cell CA of renal ppelvis
radical nephroureterectomy
multifocal and recurrent RCC, renal cysts, CNS tumors, pheochromocytoma
Von Hippel Lindau
T1 bladder CA
muscle wall not involved
Tx for T1 bladder CA
intravesical BCG or transuretheral resection
Tx for T2 or greater bladder CA
cystectomy with ileal conduit, chemo and XRT
Chemo for bladder CA
MVAC - methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin and cisplatin
