Q

describe the steps of a martius flap.

A

-make a longitudinal incision over the medial apsect of the labia majora

20
Q

describe the steps of a ureteroureterostomy.

A

excise damaged tissue
spatulate both ends
attach them using small absorbable suture leave a stent for 6 weeks.

21
Q

Describe the steps of a ureteoneocystomy.

A

-make a flap at the dome
-make a partial thickness dissection into the flap
-trim devitalized tissue from the ureter
-then attach the ureter to the flap.

22
Q

When to do a Psoas hitch vs Baori Flap?

A

psaos if tension free implantation is not possible

baori if you need 6-8 cm of mobilization

23
Q

steps of psoas hitch.

A

-4 cm incision in the dose of the bladder
-attach the dome to the psoas muscle using PDS
- trim and spatulate the ureter and tunnel the ureter into the mobilized dome and secure it
-close the dome

24
Q

steps of baori flap

A

-mobilize the bladder as much as possible, transecting the urachus and securing the umbilical vessels.
-make a rectangular flap in the dome
-place stay sutures to attach the flap to the psoas tendon using PDS
-trim the ureter and tunnel it submusocally and attach it to the flap
-close the full length of the flap using 5-0 monocryl

25
Q

steps of cystotomy repair

A

-isolate the cystotomy
-trim devitalized tissue
-stent prn if near the trigone
-mucosal closure- absorbable sutures
-muscularis closure-absorbale suture
-flap if needed
-back fill to ensure water tight closure.

26
Q

describe the steps of a primary repair of a rectal injury.

What size injury is reasonable for a primary repair?

If the injury was large, how long would the patient need a colostomy for?

A

3 layer closure
mucosa, muscularis, and serosa with delayed absorbable suture

<1cm

3-6 motnhs

27
Q

small bowel injury

<1 cm, how do you repair it?

A

Assess the bowel to look for any other injury

1 layer of absorbable suture perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bowel

28
Q

small bowel injury

> 1 cm or complex, how do you repair it?

A

consult for reanastamosis

29
Q

What are the superior and inferior blood supply for the martius flap?

A

superior- external pudendal
inferior-internal pudendal

30
Q

radiation

32
Q

Your SSLF patient has gluteal pain. What findings would make you want to return to the OR immediately beside pain?

A

-numbness, weakness
-motor deficit

33
Q

one ureter is not spilling after your procedure. What do you do?

A

-consider unilateral renal anomaly
-give furosemide 20mg IV
-flourescein 0.25 mg IV
- level the patient
- remove potential obstructive retractors or insufflation
- cut sutures
- consult urology
-retrograde pyelogram and double J stent

34
Q

What is the weigert meyer rule?

DDx of UI in a teenager.

A

OAB
spina bifida
fistula
diverticulum
IC
ectopic ureter
tumor

38

43
Q

one ureter is not spilling after your vaginal hysterectomy USLS. You pass a wire without shooting a retrograde pyelogram. How could this give you false reassurance?

A

without a retrograde pyelogram, the wire could be passing into the abdomen instead of in the ureter.
