LIVER, PANCREAS: 95, 96, 97 Flashcards
Liver anatomy
442
4 lobes (right, left, quadrate, caudate) 4 sublobes (right, left lateral and medial) 2 processes (caudate, papillary)
is it more difficult to access surgically the left or right lobe? why?
easier the LEFT (sustantial cleft separating the medial and lateral portions
the right medial lobe has a substantial attachment to the quadrate lobe
the right lateral lobe is fused at it’s base with the caudate lobe
blood supply and O2 supply to the liver
HEPATIC ARTERY: 20% volume, 50% O2
PORTAL VEIN: 80% volume, 50% O2
possible conformation of the Heparic artery
1- common trunk
2- right lateral + left
3- right lateral + right medial + left
left always the larger
where the cystic artery of the gallbladder originates from?
from the left branch of the hepatic artery
DOG vs CAT: difference in anatomy beetween intrahepatic portal vein
CANINE: usually divide in right and left main branch
FELINE: usually divide in 3 branches ( right, central, left)
how it is called the manouvre to stop the the blood inflow to the liver?
pringle manouvre
number of hepatic ducts in dog
2-8
DOG vs CAT: major and minor papilla differences
DOG:
major papilla: CBD. Adjacent to CBD enters the pancreatic duct
minor papilla: accessory pancreatic duct (larger)
CAT:
major papilla: CBD + pancreatic duct (conjoined with the CBD)
minor papilla: 20% cats have accessory pancreatic duct (smaller)
compensatory hypertrophy and hyperplasia of liver after 70% resection
usually reached after 6 days. may take up to 6-10 weeks
factors that impede liver regeneration
diabetes mellitus: insulin is one of the most potent hepatotrophic factors in protal blood
most common cause of extrahepatic biliary tract injury
blunt abdominal trauma
most common causes of extrahepatic biliary obstruction
pancreatitis, neoplasia, mucoceles, cholangitis, cholelitiasis
possible consequences of extrahepatic biliary tract obstruction
hypotension decreased myocardial contractility AKI coagulopaties gastrointestinal hemorrage delayed wound healing
absence of bile salts lead to bacterial overgrowth?
mortality rates beetween sterile-septic bile peritonitis
higher mortality rates with septic bile peritonitis
RX visualization of coleliths
50% radiopaque in dogs
80% radiopaque in cats
first US sign of extrahepatic biliary tract obstruction
CBD dilation (normal: 3-4 mm) begins to dilate as soon as 48 h after obstruction
prevalence of coagulation abnormality in dogs with liver desease
up to 57% of dog with at least one abnormality
is there a concrete risk of hemorrage with liver desease?
in human no increased bleeding tendencies have been seen in patients with coagulation abnormalities due to liver desease
degree of liver resection at wich we can observe hypoglicemia
when up to 70% of liver is resected
most common bacteria isolated in liver culture
clostridium perfringens
staphylococcus spp
oxidized regenerated cellulose VS gelatin sponge
ORC seem to have antibacterial properties
name the 3 technique to control extensive hemorrage from hepatic surgery
1- control of central venous pressure
2- occlusion of liver inflow
3- occlusion of liver inflow and outflow
time of liver inflow occlusion tolerated
20 min: dogs are less tolerant than humans because they have reduced intrinsic portosystemic collateral circulation
difference beetween stapling technique and dissection and ligation technique
both safe and effective
dissection and ligation tough associated with more microscopic hemorrage, necrosis and inflammation
serum bilirubin concentration to see icterus
> 1.5- 2 mg/dl
is there aboundant fluid associated with bile peritonitis? how it is diagnosed?
usually yes, because of hyperosmolar nature of bile
diagnosed when bilirubin concentration of peritoneal fluid is 2- > then bil in the serum
DOG vs CAT: prevalence of positive culture of bile
17-39% of dogs
30-50% cats
best antibiotic choice for septic bile peritonitis
2 gen cephalosporin, it lack efficacy against enterococci
-> add ampicillin for enterococcus spp.
critical point to decide when medical treatement alone or when perform surgery?
if patency of the CBD can not be demostrated via normograde or retrograde catheterization of the duct, consider a sirgical approach with cholecistoenterostomy.
choledochal catheterization approach in order:
1- small antimesenteric duodenotomy to cateterize major papilla
2- establish patency
3- colecistectomy
4- thorough flushing of the duct
cholecistectomy tip
always flushing the CBD to ensure that all gelatinous bile is removed from the common bile duct
port placement for laparoscopic cholecystectomy
4 PORT:
subumbilical camera
LEFT: 5-8 lateral, 3-5 cranial umbilicus
RIGHT: 3-5 lateral umbilicus
RIGHT: 5-8 lateral umbilicus
1 PORT: umbilicus
