Hepatobilliary Flashcards
rate of patient’s that develop type 1 diabetes after distal pancreatectomy
10%
location of beta islet cells in pancreas
predominately in the tail of the pancreas
function of beta islet cells in pancreas
produce insulin
in what cells is insulin produced in the pancreas
beta islet cells
when would you perform a Puestow procedure
- pancreatic duct dilation 1-2 cm away from the head of the pancreas
- ductal dilation > 6 mm
another name for the puestow procedure
lateral pancreaticojejunostomy
when would you perform the Frey procedure
for pancreatic obstruction at the head with distal duct dilation
Describe the Frey procedure
pancreatic head resection with a 1 cm remnant at the duodenal margin, with lateral pancreaticojejunostomy to decompress the distal pancreas
Indication for Berger procedure
- pancreatic head inflammatory mass that is NOT cancer
- without distal main duct obstruction/dilation
dissecting out distal portion of pancreas for distal pancreatectomy, you notice blood oozing after you liberate inferior portion of pancreas. What did you injure?
splenic vein
Grey-Turner sign
- discoloration at the flanks secondary to inflammatory extravasation from pancreatitis
Cullen Sign
- periumbilical discoloration secondary to extravasation of inflammatory fluid from pancreatitis
25 year old male recently traveled to Africa, returns with 2 weeks of RUQ pain fever, malaise, and weight loss. US of liver shows fluid collection
Amebic infection
first line treatment for amebic liver abscess
metronidazole
what is one great thing about pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, if low grade
- great prognosis if all lesions are resected, no need for neoadjuvant chemotherapy
what test do you perform to assess a functional liver remnant prior to hepatic resection
CT with 3D reconstruction
patient with chronic pancreatitis, plan is for palliative surgery to address pain and biopsy shows rare atypical cells…what should you worry about
pancreatic cancer, and therefore this patient requires oncologic resection
most common liver lesion in an otherwise healthy female
hemangioma
liver lesion with peripheral nodular enhancement in the arterial phase with central filling in the delayed phase
hemangioma
liver lesion with arterial enhancement and washout on delayed imaging
hepatocellular carcinoma
liver lesion with rim enhancement on CT scan with contrast
hepatic abscess
indications to operate on a pancreatic pseudocyst
- persistant abdominal pain
- feeding intolerance
- inability to exclude cystic neoplasm
T1a gall bladder cancer
cancer limited to the mucosa
T1b gall bladder cancer
cancer invading the muscularis
gall bladder cancer invading the muscularis is given what T stage
T1b
at what T stage in gall bladder cancer should you pursue hepatic resection of segments IVb and V
T1b and greater
OR
T1a with positive margins on pathology
Branch Duct Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm features that would necessitate resection
- obstructive jaundice
- enhancing solid component
- main duct dilation greater than 1 cm
BD-IPMN worrisome features that would necessitate endoscopic imaging and possible resection
- IPMN greater than 3 cm
- non-enhancing mural nodules
- thickened enhancing cyst walls
- main duct 5-9 mm in siz / abrupt caliber change
- lymphadenopathy / pancreatitis
type 1 choledochal cyst
fusiform dilation of the CBD w/o intrahepatic involvement
type 2 choledochal cyst
diverticulum off of the CBD
type 4a choledochal cyst
- single fusiform dilation of the extra hepatic bile ducts
- plus dilation of the intrahepatic ducts
-type 4b choledochal cyst
multiple extra hepatic ductal dilations
type 5 choledochal cyst
- bonus points for eponym
intrahepatic bile duct cysts only
- Caroli disease
what is associated with choledochal cysts and thought to contribute to their development
anomalous pancreatobiliary junction
what metabolic derangements would you expect in a patient with a VIPoma?
- achlorhydria
- hypokalemia
- hypercalcemia
- hyperglycemia
- acidosis
