MUST KNOW SURGICAL OPERATIONS Flashcards
Billroth I
proximal stomach is anastomosed directly to the duodenum (i.e. gastroduodenostomy)
Billroth II
greater curvature of stomach is anastomosed directly to the jejunum (i.e. gastrojejunostomy)
Roux-En-Y anastomosis
2 upper limb of the “Y” represent:
• proximal segment of stomach and distal small bowel it joins with
• blind end that is surgically divided off
lower part of “Y”:
• formed by the distal small bowel beyond anastomosis
Brooke Ileostomy
Standard ileostomy that is folded on
itself to protrude from the abdomen
~2 cm to allow easy appliance placement
and collection of succus
CEA
Carotid EndArterectomy; removal of atherosclerotic plaque from a carotid artery
Bassini Herniorrhapy
Repair of inguinal hernia by approximating transversus abdominis aponeurosis and the conjoint tendon to the reflection of POUPART’s (inguinal) ligament
McVay herniorrhaphy
Repair of inguinal hernia by approximating the transversus abdominis aponeurosis and the conjoint tendon to COOPER’s ligament (which is basically the
superior pubic bone periosteum)
addresses BOTH inguinal and femoral ring defects
indicated for femoral hernias and in cases where the use of prosthetic material is contraindicated
Lichtenstein herniorrhaphy
“Tension-free” inguinal hernia repair using
mesh (synthetic graft material)
allows for a tension-free repair of the inguinal floor by buttressing the floor with a prosthetic mesh
Shouldice herniorrhaphy
Repair of inguinal hernia by IMBRICATION of the transversalis fascia, transversus abdominis aponeurosis, and the conjoint tendon and approximation of the transversus abdominis aponeurosis and the conjoint tendon to the inguinal ligament
Plug and patch hernia
repair
Prosthetic plug pushes hernia sac in and
then is covered with a prosthetic patch to
repair inguinal hernias
AbdominoPerineal Resection (APR)
Removal of the rectum and sigmoid colon through
abdominal and perineal incisions (patient is left with a colostomy); used for low rectal cancers ~8 cm from the anal verge
Low Anterior Resection
Resection of low rectal tumors through an anterior
abdominal incision
Hartmann’s Procedure
- Proximal colostomy
- Distal stapled-off colon or rectum that
is left in peritoneal cavity
Mucous Fistula
Distal end of the colon is brought to the
abdominal skin as a stoma (proximal end
is brought up to skin as an end colostomy)
Kocher Maneuver
Dissection of the duodenum from the
right-sided peritoneal attachment to
allow mobilization and visualization of
the back of the duodenum/pancreas
Seldinger
Placement of a central line by first placing a wire in the vein, followed by placing the catheter over the wire
Cricothryroidotomy
Emergent surgical airway through the cricoid membrane
Hepaticojejunostomy
Anastomosis between a jejunal roux limb and the hepatic ducts
Puestow Maneuver
Side-to-side anastomosis of the pancreas
and jejunum (pancreatic duct is filleted
open)
