Q

whats the anatomy of the Small intestine ?

A
  • its the largest( it represent 75% of all bowel) part extend from the GD junction to the ileocecal junction
  • diameter at the GD is 4cm while it become narrow at the ileocecal junction about 2.5cm
  • surface area around 95%

Q

what the type of the megacolon conspitation ?

A

1-Hirschspurge disease
(disease is a condition that affects the large intestine (colon) and causes problems with passing stool. The condition is present at birth (congenital) as a result of missing nerve cells in the muscles of the baby’s colon)

2- non-Hirschburge megrectum and megacolon

Q

what the typs of the non megacolon constipation ?

A

1- slow transit
(reduced motility of the large intestine, caused by abnormalities of the enteric nerves.)

2-normal transit
(colonic motility (the way muscles contract and relax to move contents through the colon) is unaltered; stool moves through the colon at a normal rate.difficulties in stool passage, for example due to harder stools.)

Q

whats the Idiopathic megarectum and megacolon ?

A

(means there is constipation of unknown etiology because the feces accumulation )

  • pt will come with history of sever constipation , abdominal pain , abdominal distention and manual evacuation because of the fecal loading
  • when we do abdominal exam feel hard fecal mass arise out of the pelvis
  • when we do rectal examination we will saw large fecloma in the lumen and the anus is patulous (loose, open)
  • we can do sigmidoscopy

Q

how to diagnosis pt with megarectum and megacolon ?

A
  • pt will come with history of sever constipation , abdominal pain , abdominal distention and manual evacuation because of the fecal loading
  • when we do abdominal exam feel hard fecal mass arise out of the pelvis
  • when we do rectal examination we will saw large fecloma in the lumen and the anus is patulous (loose, open)
  • we can do sigmidoscopy
  • do imaging by “Double contrast barium enema “
    that show the megarectum

-we do “ Anorectal physiology test “
(assess the function of the muscles in your anal canal to see if they are working normally, and also checks the sensitivity of the rectum to small volumes of air and its response to distension)

so the pt will have delayed first sensation
and raised maximum tolerated volume

  • full thickness rectal biobsy

Q

what the treatment of the Idiopathic megarectum and megacolon ? as Hirschsprung’s disease

A

1-emptying the rectum by washout and manual evacuation under anesthesia

2- develop regular daily bowel habit by using osmotic laxatives or use the suppositories

3- biofeedback therapy in resistance cases
(using electronic or other instruments, and with a goal of being able to manipulate the body’s systems at will)

1- resection of the dilated rectum and colon

2-colectomy (removal of all or part of the colon) with formation of ileorectal anastomosis

3-restorative proctocolectomy استئصال
(removes the entire colon and rectum while preserving the anal sphincter )

4- vertical reduction rectoplasty is a new treatment

5- stoma formation

Q

most common site for the diverticular disease ?

A

is an acquired disorder.

found in the sigmoid colon in 90% of cases, but the caecum
on occasion, the entire large bowel can be affected.

49
Q

Diverticulosis refers

A

is an acquired disorder.

refers to the presence of diverticula without inflammation

50
Q

Diverticulitis refers

A

refers to inflammation and infection associated with diverticula.

51
Q

The majority of colonic diverticula are false or true

A

are false diverticula in which the mucosa and muscularis mucosa have herniated through the colonic wall .

-They are thought to be pulsion diverticula resulting from high intraluminal pressure

52
Q

how to investigate the diverticulosis ?

A
  • history is asyptomatic
    -barium enemia
    . (There is thickening of the circular
    muscle fibres of the intestine, which develops
    concertina or saw-tooth appearance
    on barium enema .)
53
Q

saw-tooth appearance

on barium enema means

A

diverticulosis because there is thickening of the circular

muscle fibers of the intestine

54

inflammation of one or more diverticula

55
Q

whats the incidance of diverticulitis ?

A

incidence 10 to 25% of people with diverticulosis

56
Q

whats the complication of diverticulitis ?

A

1- Intestinal obstruction because of fiberosis
or adherent loop in small intestine

2- Recurrent inflammation
3- Perforation lead to peritonitis and abcess formation
4-Haemorrhage in 17% of cases
5- Fistula formation
(vesicocolic, vaginocolic, enterocolic, colocutaneous) occurs in 5% of cases, with vesicocolic being the most common.

57
Q

what the chance of hemarrage and fistula in diverticulitis ?

A

hemorage is more 17% while fistula 5% most common with the bladder

58
Q

what the clincal feature of the diverticulitis ?

A

-may be uncomplicated diverticulitis as such as distension, flatulence and a sensation of heaviness

  • or may be complicated as
    left iliac fossa pain with or without peritonitis.

Fever, malaise and leucocytosis

pass loose stools or may be constipated;

pneumaturia (flatus feces in the urine as urinary symptoms may herald the formation of a vesicocolic fistula

abdominal examination show that
-lower abdominal tenderness on the left

-sigmoid is paplpe (common site )and tender

on rectal exam revel a tender mass

59
Q

how to dignosis the divriticulitis ?

A
  • depond on the syptomas and signs
    -radiograpgy
    -ct to see the bowel thickening , abcess and extraluminal disease
    -barium enemas and sigmoidoscopy
    in stable acute pt

-water soluble enemas
for large bowel obstruction
- colonoscopy
- cystoscopy

60

A

-diet containing roughage النخاله
as bread, flour, fruit and vegetables

  • Bulk formers such as bran, Celevac, Isogel and Fybogel
  • Antispasmodics for painful diverticular disease

pt will recover without surgery,
50 to 70% will have no further episodes.
Risk of complications increases with recurrent disease.

61
Q

what the mangemant for complicated diverticulitis ?

A

Acute diverticulitis
-treated by bed rest and intravenous antibiotics (usually cefuroxime and metronidazole).

-surgery is to control sepsis in the peritoneum and circulation

62
Q

Indications for operation in case of diverticulitis ?

A
  • peritonitis and failure to resolve on conservative treatment
  • young patients with more than two attacks of inflammation
63
Q

what the type of surgery in the diverticulitis ?

A

1- The ideal operation one-stage resection. This involves removal of the affected segment and restoration of continuity by end-to-end anastomosis.

2- If there is obstruction, inflammatory oedema and
adhesions or the bowel is loaded with faeces,
Hartmann’s operation is the procedure of choice

3-perforation, peritonitis soon becomes general
and may be purulent, with a mortality rate of about 15%.
Gross faecal peritonitis carries a mortality rate of > 50%
a primary resection and Hartmann’s procedure
b primary resection and anastomosis after on-table lavage in selected cases;
c exteriorisation of the affected bowel

4-Fistulae can be cured only by resection of the diseased bowel and closure of the fistula.

5- Haemorrhage from diverticulitis must be distinguished from angiodysplasia. On-table lavage and colonoscopy may be necessary to localise the bleeding site. If the source cannot be located, then subtotal colectomy and ileostomy is the safest

64

66
Q

In acute perforation, peritonitis ?

A

may be purulent, with a mortality rate of about 15%.
Gross faecal peritonitis carries a mortality rate of > 50%

a primary resection and Hartmann’s procedure 
b primary resection and anastomosis after on-table lavage in selected cases;
c exteriorisation (The act of removing something from a body. )of the affected bowel
67
Q

if fistula ?

A

cured only by resection of the diseased bowel and closure of the fistula

68
Q

if Haemorrhage?

A

must be distinguished from angiodysplasia
.
On-table lavage( washout the fecal load in the obstructed colon) and colonoscopy may be necessary to localise the bleeding site. If the source cannot be located, then subtotal colectomy and ileostomy is the safest
