Roux en Y hepaticojejunostomy
Describe roux en Y hepaticojejunostomy
Dissection of remnant CBD or hepatic duct Divide small bowel and distal small bowel (ROUX limb) brought up and sutured to bile duct (end to side hepaticojejunostomy) End to side bowel-bowel anastomosis
How to mechanically flush stones from the duct?
For stones <3-4 mm in diameter can give IV admin of 1.0 mg of glucagon to help relax sphincter of Oddi Can then flush the cystic duct catehter with several 10 cc syringers of saline
Tx of advanced PSC
Liver transplant
Most pts with PSC will have elevated what antibodies?
perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies

Common signs of recurrence in gb cancer
jaundice and ascites
MC sites of recurrence after resection of GB cancer
carcinomatosis, intrahepatic mets or nodal recurrence in retroperitoneum
f/u imaging for surveillance after GB cancer resection
imaging every 6 months for 2 years and then annually for 5 years
most prevalent location of NET within small bowel
ileum
MC location for NET in pts between ages of 50-59 years
rectum
what bismuth classification is a tumor involving the hepatic duct bifurcation but not involving significant portions of right or left hepatic duct
tyoe II
What class tumor is a tumor involving the hepatic duct but not the bifurcation
type I
What class tumor involves conflucence of right and left hepatic ducts and extends to right hepatic duct
class IIIa
what class tumor involves confluence of right and left hepatic ducts and extends tgo the left hepatic duct
Class IIIb
what is the double duct sign
simultaneous dilation of common bile and pancreatic ducts
2 most common causes of double duct sign
CA of the head of the pancreas and ampullary tumors (though occasioanlly an impacted gallstone in distal duct can result in obstruction of pancreatic duct)
what is medial structure in portal triad
proper hepatic artery
what separates right and left lobes of liver
cantlies line (line between gallbladder fossa and IVC)
right posterior lateral esgments of liver
VI-VII
right superior anteromedial segment of liver
VIII
3 hepatic veins drain into
IVC
which two veins usually merge before draining into IVC
medial and left hepatic
replaced right hepatic - MC off? travels?
most commonly off SMA and travels behind pancreas and CBD
replaced left hepatic - MC off? travels?
MC off left gastric, travels in gastrohepatic ligametn
what if you cant visualize the hepatic ductso n IOC
oull catheter back and try flushing again trendelenburg to see if chagne in imaging (back filling using gravity) convert to open to investigate injury to hepatic duct
What is Rigler triad
Bowel obstruction gallstone seen in intestine pneumobilia on imaging
GB polyps > what size are consdiered cancer until proven otherwise
18 mm
portal HTN is defined as HVPG >
6 mmHg
PBC and etiology of portal htn
presinusoidal and sinusoidal elements
name 4 sites of collateral circulation
distal esophagus/proximal stomach (Esophageal submucosal veins to proximal gastric veins) rectum (IMV to pudendal vein) umbilicus (vestigial umbilical v to left portal vein) retroperitoenum (mesenteric and ovarian vv)
when to use selective shunt
decompress only part of portal venous system good for variceal bleeding but do NOT help ascites
what is a partial portosystemic shunt
type of side to side shunt where flow is calibrated by size of synthetic interposition graft placed bwten the portal vien and vena cava
most common non selective portosystemic shunt
side to side portocaval shunt
complications from non selective shunts
high rate of enecephalopathy, complicate later liver txp
ascites - what kind of shunt
non selective
double walled cyst on CT
echinococcal cyst (hydatid cyst)

MC site of mets in HCC
lung
Milan criteria
one lesion <5 cm 3 or fewer lesions all <3 cm and NO gross vascular or extrahepatic spread *usually perform neoadjuvant chemo prior to txp*
