Q

Unable to cannulate ampulla for jaundice from carcinoma of pancreatic head

A

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram and drain under USG

BUT before that undertake staging of the disease whether it is resectable or not cause PTC drain has high risk of dislodging

A

After 4 weeks

22

Glasgow criteria mnemonic for both alcohol and stone related pancreatitis

A

PANCREAS [severe if 3 or more present]
PaO2<8kPa
Age>55yrs
Neutrophilia WCC>15k

Cholecystectomy once acute attack has settled

25
Q

How to prevent infection in pancreatic necrosis

26
Q

USG feature of hemangioma

A

Hyperechoic

27
Q

Treatment of bile leak from CBD after lapcol

A

ERCP sphincteroTOMY and CBD stenting

This is called cystic stump leak

28
Q

Which blood function do we need before ERCP

A

Coagulation profile

29
Q

Investigation to exclude both pancreatitis and perforated viscus

A

Contrast CT of abdomen and pelvis

30
Q

Percentage of CBD stone presenting with gall stone

31
Q

How to prepare coagulation profile before pancreatic cancer surgery

A

Vit K
LMWH
Relieve biliary obstruction with plastic stenting (metallic ones may become embedded)

32
Q

How to reduce endotoxemia before pancreatic cancer surgery

A

Lactulose
IV mannitol
Bile salt substitution

33
Q

What is endotoxemia

A

https://images.app.goo.gl/k8xaTqnTvtHD37Sf6

Endotoxemia is defined as the elevation of plasma levels of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that may be due to increased gut permeability, high levels of intestinal LPS-containing bacteria, or both.

34
Q

Treatment of hepatocellular adenoma

A

Resection
In males it has high risk of malignant transformation

35
Q

What to do if CBD stone can’t be removed even after ERCP

A

Choledocho duodeno stomy

36
Q

Risk of Choledocho duodeno stomy

A

Long term risk of ascending cholangitis but are of less concern in older patients

37
Q

Relation of liver function test with cholecystectomy

A

We can proceed with surgery if liver function is normal

38
Q

Triad of cholangitis

A

Charcot’s triad

Pain (RUQ)
Fever (usually with rigors)
Jaundice

Rigor: a sudden feeling of cold with shivering accompanied by a rise in temperature, often with copious sweating, especially at the onset or height of a fever.
