HERNIAS 85, 86 Flashcards
name the pars of muscles that composes the diaphragm
pars lumbaris
pars sternalis
pars costal is (each side)
descrive the origin of the right and left crus of diaphragm
origin from paired lumbar muscles of diaphragm
each gives a crus, that further divides in two.
right crus is bigger
tendon arise from 3-4 lumbar vertebra and medial to psoas minor
name the structures that passes through the aortic hiatus
aorta, azigos, hemiazigos, lumbar cistern of the thoracic duct
what are the “foramina of Morgagni?”
also named sternocostal triangles.
situated between costal and sternal attachments of thoracic diaphragm
what structures pass through Morgagni foramina
cranial epigastric arteries
diaphragm blood supply
phrenic arteries, originate from phrenology-abdominal arteries.
anastomose with phrenic branches of 10-11-12 intercostal arteries
diaphragm innervation
PHRENIC NERVES
dog: ventral branches 5-6-7 cervical nerves
cat: 4-5-6 cervical nerves
surgical approach to diaphragmatic ernia
median celiotomy
9 intercostal toracotomy: side of the hernia!! (not peritoneo pericardial)
resection xiphoid process
celiotomy extended to sternotomy
causes of diaphragm ernia
85% trauma
diaphragm muscle tears orientation cats dogs
DOG: 40% radial, 40% circumferential, 20% mixed
CAT: 59% circumferential, 18% radial
complications with diaphragm ernia
DISPNEA 38%
hepatic venous stasis
hepatic necrosis
biliary tract obstruction
jaundice
pleural effusion
ascites
hemotorax
urotorax
chylotorax
1 report cardia tamponade
radiographic signs of diaphragm hernia
LATERAL PROJECTION
loss line of diaphragm (66-97%)
viscera in torax
obscured cardiac shadow
DORSO VENTRAL
lung lobe collapse (20-31%) pleural fluid (20-31%)
radiographic signs of diaphragm hernia
LATERAL PROJECTION
loss line of diaphragm (66-97%)
viscera in torax
obscured cardiac shadow
DORSO VENTRAL
lung lobe collapse (20-31%) pleural fluid (20-31%)
ultrasonography accuracy for diaphragm hernia
93%
timing of surgery for repair of diaphragmatic hernia
as soon the patient is stable
67% within 24h
37% within 1 year
delay 1-3 weeks 93.7% (another study)
-> STABILIZE PATIENT BEFORE SURGERY
closure options for large diaphragm defects
omentum fascia muscle liver Polypro mesh silicon rubare sheating
muscle flaps for diaphragm closure
transversus abdominins
rectus abdominis
latissimus dorsi
have to be 10% bigger than defect to close
IAP: intraperitoneal pressure: values
increase pressure -> abdominal compartment syndrome
11-20 mmhg: medical treatments (analgesic therapy, evacuation intraperitoneal fluid-air or organ contents)
>20 mmhg: surgical correction; mesh to augment abdominal wall, splenectomy, advancement diaphragm
what muscle separate pleural and peritoneal cavities dorsally
psoas muscles, by only a thin layer of fused endothoracic and transversalis fascia
what is the “cullen sign”
ring of subcoutaneous hemorrage around the ombilicus (in same cases of hemoperitoneum or peritonitis)
what are the vascular structures that bound the epiploic foramen?
dorsally caudal vena cava
ventrally portal vein
what are the 3 portions of the omentum?
bursal portion, splenic portion (form gastroepipolic ligament), veil portion (left pancreas)
