Stomach Flashcards
MALT is a precursor to?
Gastric lymphoma
Regresses with H.pylori tx
Clo test detects?
Urease from H pylori
Gastric ulcers: type I, II, III, IV, V
I: lesser curve II: 2 ulcers (lesser curve and duodenal) III: prepyloric IV: high lesser curve V: anywhere a/w NSAID use
Risk factors for gastric adenocarcinoma?
Adenoma > 2 cm
Nitrosamines
Chronic atrophic gastritis/pernicious anemia
Gastric lymphoma tx
Chemo and radiation
Surgery for complications
Types of hiatal hernia
- Type 1: sliding hiatal hernia o If asymptomatic, can observe - Type 2: paraesophageal hernia o Always needs repair - Type 3: sliding hiatal hernia + paraesophageal hernia o Always needs repair - Type 4: entire stomach + organ in chest o Always needs repair
Repair of hiatal hernia
o Reduce hernia sac and brought back into esophagus
o Mesh, operator dependent
o Permanent suture to close crura
o Fundoplication
o Colles gastropexy í if unable to get length of esophagus freed
Types of gastric ulcers:
- Type 1: lesser curve
- Type 2: gastric ulcer a/w duodenal ulcer
o A/w high acid output - Type 3: pre-pyloric (distal)
o A/w high acid output - Type 4: ulcer near GEJ
- Type 5: anywhere, NSAID related
High risk recurrent GI bleed
o Active bleeding pulsatile vessel
o Visible vessel
o Adherent clot
o Clean ulcer base
Surgery for bleeding gastric ulcer
Midline laparotomy, anterior gastrotomy, oversew the bleeding area, make sure to bx, close gastrotomy
Surgery for bleeding duodenal ulcer
longitudinal anterior duodenotomy, control bleeding with sutures placed in superior and inferior positions of the ulcer to avoid CBD, ligate GDA above duodenum if bleeding continues after that, approximate ulcer crater and close the duodenotomy transversely
Ulcer Perforation tx
Antibiotics: broad-spectrum, +fungal
Surgical management: omental patch repair
Contained leak: non-op is reasonable if HDS
Refractory ulcer disease tx
Truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty
Selective vagotomy
Vagotomy and antrectomy with Billroth reconstruction
Siewart-Stein classifications for GEJ cancers
- Type 1: distal esophagus, 1-5 cm above GEJ
- Type 2: cardia, within 1 cm above or below GEJ
- Type 3: 2-5 cm below GEJ in the stomach
Gastric volvulus associated with
paraesophageal hernia
Gastric volvulus rotations
- Organo-axial: rotates along the axis of the stomach from GEJ to the pylorus (vertical, coronal plane)
- Meso-axial rotation: along the short axis of stomach, bi-secting the lesser and greater curvature
Gastric volvulus tx
- Tx: emergent surgery
o Reduce the hernia
o Crural repair
o Gastropexy
o If needed, partial gastrectomy for de-vitalized tissue
o If not fit for surgery: endoscopic decompression, double-PEG tube
Alarm sx of GERD
dysphagia, odynophagia, weight loss, GI bleeding
W/u with EGD
