25
Q

what is surg CD mantra

A
  • do not harm
  • can’t cure
  • preserve function
26
Q

2. perforative - fistula, abscess, free perf

27
Q

3 main types of surg

A
  1. resection
  2. strictureplasty
  3. diversion alone - rare
28
Q

2 types of resection

A
  1. restorative - +/- protected anastamosis

2. non-restorative

29
Q

what is surg for obstructing terminial illeum CD

A

illeocolic resection with anastamosis

30
Q

**2 keys to a good anastamosis

A
  1. tension-free

2. well-vascularized

31
Q

what is role of the protecting stoma

A

lower leak rates

32
Q

complications of ileo-colic resection

A
  • leak - bad
  • localized abscess
  • diffuse peritonitis
33
Q

how common is recurrence

A

very high over time - esp @ ileocolic jct

34
Q

surg for segmental colon, diffuse colon, anorectal colon

A

segmental - segmental resection
diffuse - subtotal colectomy
anorectal +/- colon - prectectomy

35

44
Q

use of ASA for UC

A

remisson and maintenance

45
Q

use of ABs for UC

A

none

46
Q

induction only

47

all remission and maintenance - except methotrexate, no maint

48

A

both

49
Q

what to do for severe attack of UC

A

try rescue therapy, and if fails > colectomy

50

51
Q

complications of colectomy

A
  • bowel obst.
  • infection/leak
  • pouchitis

  • infert and SD
52
Q

classic histo of UC

A
  • diffuse and continuous inflammation the entire length of region affected
  • flat broad based ulcers
  • usually limited to the mucosa
  • crypt abscesses
53

  • not always classical
  • can get illeal backwash in UC
  • ## can get patches in UC after treatment
54
Q

DDX for both IBDs (6)

A
  1. infection! - esp TB

55
Q

what is issue with fulminant

A

can be severe and go deep which makes it hard to diff. between UC and CD

  • most act like UC
  • need to diff. because doing colectomy can be bad in CD
