What are the “watershed” areas of the colon?
Venous Drainage of Colon
Venous Drainage of Rectum
Lymphatic Drainage of Colon
Lymphatic Drainage of Rectum
Histology of Colon
Mucosa of Colon
Columnar epithelium
Musclosa of Colon
1) Inner circular
2) Outer longitudinal (condensed into 3 bands)
Serosa of Colon
1) (Visceral peritoneum)
2) Peritoneal covering incomplete (except transverse & sigmoid)
Which portions of the colon are retroperitoneal?
Why Surgery of The Colon is More Hazardous Than SI?
Why is Colonic Anastomosis Leakage More Common Than SI?
Preoperative Colon Preparation for Elective Surgery to Decrease Risk of Anastomosic Leak
Incidence of Cancer Colon
3rd most common cancer in both male & female
Age of Cancer Colon
- 90% of cases above 50 years
- uncommon below 40 y unless hereditary
Sex in Cancer Colon
Equal “Maybe Males”
Sites of Cancer Colon
1/3 are in the rectum and 2/3 in the colon.
Synchronous & Metasynchronous Cancer Colon
5%
Why is Cancer Colon more common in Rectum & Sigmoid?
1) Contents are solid, stagnant.
2) It is often seat of precancerous lesions as polyps and UC
Categories of Cancer Colon
- Sporadic colon cancer
- Familial colon cancer
Percentage of Sporadic Cancer Colon
75%
Risk Factors For Sporadic Cancer Colon
1) Diet
2) Chronic irritation
3) Precancerous lesion
Predisposing factors for Sporadic Cancer Colon
1) Diet
2) Chronic irritation
3) Precancerous lesion
Diet & Sporadic Cancer Colon
Chronic Irritation & Sporadic Cancer Colon
Precancerous Lesions & Sporadic Cancer Colon
Percentage of Familial Cancer Colon
25%
Risk Factors for Familial Cancer Colon
Nature of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
Autosomal dominant
Gene Defect in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
Defect in (APC) gene on chromosome 5
Colon Cancer Risk in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
COLON CANCER: 100%
Age of polyps & cancer in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
- Polyps appear by the age of 15 years
- Cancer occurs berore age of 40 years
Types of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
Attenuated Type of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
(number of polyps is less than 100)
Classic Type of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
(number of polyps is more than 100)
Nature of Heridetery non-polyposis Colon Cancer (HNPCC)
Autosomal dominant
Gene defect in Heridetery non-polyposis Colon Cancer (HNPCC)
Defect in mismatch repair MMR gene (chromosome 2)
Risk of Cancer in Heridetery non-polyposis Colon Cancer (HNPCC)
COLORECTAL CANCER: 80 %
Age of cancer in Heridetery non-polyposis Colon Cancer (HNPCC)
Occurs before 45 years
Types of Heridetery non-polyposis Colon Cancer (HNPCC)
Lynch I
isolated CRC
Lynch II
CRC associated with:
* Endometrial
* Ovarian
* Prostatic
* Gastric
* Renal
* Ureteric tumors.
