STOMACH Flashcards
What does GIST look like?
submucosal gastric mass w/ central necrosis
GIST arises from…?
interstitial cells of Cajal
Stains for GIST
c-kit (CD-117) and CD-34
GIST mets to where?
heme spread -> commonly spread to liver + peritoneal surfaces
Gastric carcinoids arise from what cells?
enterochromaffin cells
3 types of gastric carcinoids + mgmt?
- 2/2 atrophic gastritis/pernicious anemia (MC), low malignant potential -> local excision if <2cm + antrectomy
- 2/2 ZES -> less aggressive, typically complete regression after antrectomy
- sporadic, greatest malignant potential
Anatomical changes of stomach w/ hypergastrinemia 2/2 ZES vs. atrophic gastritis
ZES -> hypertrophic mucosa
atrophic gastritis -> lack of rugal folds
Most common Cx of gastric ulcer
perforation
Factors that predict MALT lymphoma Tx failure after H.pylori eradication
- transmural tumor excision
- nodal involvement
- transformation into large-cell phenotype
- T(11;18)
- nuclear BCL-10 expression
Gastric ulcers mostly found where on stomach?
lesser curvature
Dyspepsia + failure PPI mgmt… next step?
- upper endoscopy + mucosal biopsy (to r/o H.pylori)
- if ulcer, need all 4 quadrant biopsy of ulcer margin
- if H.pylori, treat, then re-eval after 2-3 months
Rate of bleeding detected by: angiography
> 0.5-1 cc/min
Rate of bleeding detected by: 99mtechnetium (Tc)-labeled RBC scan
0.04-0.1 cc/min, but have higher rate of inaccuracy dx location of bleed compared to angio
Surface epithelial cells of stomach secrete…?
mucus + bicarb (to maintain neutral pH 7.0 in gastric surface cell microenviro)
absolute C/I to PEG placement (6)
- massive ascites (impairs tract formation and healing -> fluid leak and increase risk infection)
- uncorrectable coagulopathy
- peritonitis
- severe malnutrition
- gastric outlet obstruction (bc unable to pass endoscope into stomach)
- life expectancy <30d
Is hiatal hernia C/I for PEG placement?
no - makes placement difficult, but insufflation will allow stomach to be closely approx with abdominal wall
Characteristic of GIST w/ high malignant potential? Mgmt?
- > 5cm and <10cm with >5 mitoses/hpf (49-85% mortality)
- may benefit from adjuvant imatinib
Characteristic of GIST w/ low-mod malignant potential?
- 2-5cm w/ >5 mitoses/hpf, or
- >10cm with <5 mitoses/hpf
Cameron’s lesion
source of chronic blood loss 2/2 mechanically induced linear erosions at level of diaphragm within hiatal hernia; needs operative mgmt
Borchardt triad
- severe epigastric pain
- inability to vomit
- inability to pass NGT
-> think acute gastric volvulus (emergent surgery)
Gastrinoma triangle borders? Associated with?
- ZES (gastrinoma) associated with MEN1
- jxn CD/CBD + jxn head/neck of pancreas + jxn 2nd/3rd duodenum
Reconstructive techniques following total gastrectomy
- RNY esophagojejunostomy
- RNY w/ pouch
- RNY w/ pouch w/ interposition
Non-ulcerogenic causes of hypergastrinemia
nl to low gastric acid secretion
- atrophic gastritis
- pernicious anemia
- hx vagotomy
- renal failure
- short-gut syndrome
Ulcerogenic causes of hypergastrinemia
excess gastric acid secretion
- antral G-cell hyperplasia or hyperfunction
- gastric outlet obstruction
- retained excluded gastric antrum
- ZES
Mgmt gastric volvulus in poor surgical candidate
endoscopic decompression + single or double PEG (2-pt fixation to prevent re-volvulizing)
MC complication of vagotomy; tx?
diarrhea; Tx: PO cholestyramine
Highest risk re-bleeding if see this on EGD gastric ulcer
actively bleeding or visible vessel (even if not bleeding)
Types of gastric ulcer 2/2 high acid secretion
Type 2 + 3
Types of gastric ulcer 2/2 poor mucosal protection
Type 1 + 4
Type of gastric ulcer 2/2 NSAID use
5
Virchow’s node
supraclavicular node associated with gastric CA mets
Sister Mary Joseph node
periumbilical node
Most sensitive test H.pylori
Ab test
Best test to document resolution of H.pylori
urease breath test
When use imatinib for GIST?
- tumors >5cm
- > 5 mitoses per hpf
- metastatic
Gastric volvulus associated with what type of hernia?
paraesophageal
Criminal nerve of DeGrassi
if did not divide all of celiac plexus (right vagus) -> will cause persistent hyperacid state
DeMeester Score based on…?
ambulatory pH testing:
- total % time GERD with pH <4
- total % time GERD upright
- total % time GERD supine
- # reflux episodes >5min
w/u GERD
- barium swallow
- EGD (biopsy if needed)
- pH testing
- esophageal manometry: esp important if considering doing Nissan; need normal motility
Peri-op difficulty ventilating pt during Nissen procedure… think? Tx?
capnothorax (CO2 leaking into chest); tx: need more enlarge tear into chest
When do Collis gastroplasty?
if during paraesophageal hernia repair and cannot get enough mobilization of esophagus… then need to do this esophageal lengthening procedure
Sxs dumping syndrome
after eating -> tachycardia, diaphoresis, flushing, dizziness
Mechanism of early vs. late dumping syndrome
early = due to abrupt osmolar load to small bowel late = due to rapid carb load leading to insulin surge + hypoglycemia
If had Bilroth or RNY, and present with sxs concerning for SBO… mgmt?
emergent surgery - high risk rupture
T-stage gastric CA
T1A = lamina propria or muscularis mucosa T1B = submucosa T2 = muscularis propria T3 = subserosa T4 = through serosa, into adjacent structures
N-stage gastric CA
N1 = 1-2 N2 = 3-6 N3 = >6
When need staging laparoscopy for gastric CA?
> T1B if CRT or surgery being considered bc occult mets
If splenic vessels involved in gastric CA… unresectable?
no, can resect + splenectomy
Unresectable gastric CA (4)
- lap staging finds peritoneal involvement
- distant mets
- root of mesentery or periaortic nodal disease seen on biopsy
- encasement of any vascular structure (not including splenic)
When do neoadjuvant for gastric CA?
> /= T3 or LN positive based of EUS
w/u staging gastric CA
CT A/C/P
EUS w/ FNA
laparoscopy
Margins and # nodes for gastric CA resection?
> 4-6cm margins (bc known to have wide lateral spread); 15 nodes
Nodal stations of gastric CA
D1 = 1-6 stations (perigastric nodes along greater/lesser curve) D2 = 1-6, and 7-11 station (included common hepatic, celiac, and splenic... essentially down to aorta)
Hx Bilroth 2 + intermittent abdominal pain that relieves w/ emesis + megaloblastic anemia… dx?
afferent limb syndrome
Role of PPI in H.pylori treatment
relief - does NOT reduce healing time
Gastric vs. duodenal ulcers… risk of malignancy?
gastric»_space; duodenal (hence why to biopsy ALL gastric ulcers)
ZES triad
gastric acid hypersecretion + peptic ulcer disease + gastrinoma
Young pt w/ perf gastric ulcer… suspect?
ZES
Repair mgmt of large perf anterior duodenal ulcer
Thal patch (jejunal serosal repair) - less recurrent leak than w/ omental patch; cannot close primarily bc tension
+/- temp pyloroplasty + gastroJ reconstruction (to optimize healing)
Uncontrolled bleeding from duodenal ulcer… suspect?
posterior ulcer -> erosion to GDA
