stomach & general abdomen Flashcards
GIST
most common nonepithelial tumors of the GI tract
mutations in c-KIT (CD117) or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) genes are commonly seen
sarcoma of the interstitial cells of cajal
GIST mgmt
5+ cm in size with more than 5 mitoses per high-power field requires preop IMATINIB tyrosine kinase inhibitor - if resistant, try sunitinib
just want R0 or 1 cm margin
adjuvant imatinib x 3 years
not nodal spread (no need for nodal dissection)
gist mets
liver and peritoneal surfaces
where does RIGHT gastric aa branch
from proper hepatic artery AFTER GDA takeoff
stomach cells
chief, partietal cell
chief: pepsinogen
parietal : release H and intrinsic factor
parietal cell reactio
ACh and gastrin cause PHOSPHOLIPASE acivation
PIP, DAG IP3 CALCIUM.***.=
Ca-calmodulin activates kinase to release H.
histamin activates adenylate cyclase.
increase CAMP, PKA to release H.
gastrin released from?
G cells (antrum).
gastrin regulation
inhibited by H in duodenum
stinulated by amino acids/ACh
Brunners glands where/what
duodenum; secrete ALKALINE MUCUS
inbhitors of parietal cell HKATPase
somatostatin, prostagland PGE1, secretin , CCK
hereditary diffuse gastric cancer.
AD… CDH1, which encodes the cell-cell adhesion protein E-cadherin
ppx gastrectomy 20-40 YO
women have increased breast ca risk
other syndromes ass’d gastric ca
Lynch, jevnile polyposis SMAD4, peutz jeghers, FAP 5q21
esophageal FBO removal timing
<24 hrs
stomach FBO removal timing
<24 hrs if sharp objects, >5cm, and magnets, and 1+day (blunt >2cm and batteries)
coin FBO
dx XR. retrieve if symptomatic or if stays (anywhere for 3-4 wks)
can leave in esophagus if asx
EGD tools for battery ingestion
A double-channel endoscope is preferred for foreign object retrieval so diagnostic and therapeutic instruments can be passed through the scope.
An esophageal overtube should be used for this patient to protect the esophageal mucosa and upper airway when pulling the object out of the alimentary tract.
Forceps are preferred when retrieving flat objects such as disk batteries or coins.
how to evaluate the celiac lymph node basin
US probe on L lobe of the liver (during dx lap for staging gastric adeno ie)
rectus sheath hematoma grades
type I hematoma is small and confined within the rectus muscle, and it does not cross the midline or dissect fascial planes
type II hematoma is confined within the rectus muscle; however, it can dissect along the transversalis fascial plane or cross the midline»_space; need to trend Hemoglobins and see if unstable, then can go to embolization
type III hematoma is usually below the arcuate line, large in size, and presents with blood in the prevesical space of Retzius and/or hemoperitoneum.»_space; needs angiography & embolization.
exit site PD catheter infection
obtain culture and start empiric abx
bacterial peritonitis 2/2 PD catheter
start Abx, hold off on taking catheter out until failure of ab 4-5 days, or if fungal peritonitis, or if intraabdominal pathology suspected
abx of choice for SBP 2/2 PD catheter
Intraperitoneal gentamicin and ceftriaxone
mesenteric simple cyst
Benign
F>M
Small>large bowel
full of: serous or chyle fluid
mgmt: enucleate or marsupialize (if too big)
harmonic scalpel works
minimal thermal injury; dividing tissue < 6 mm using coag; monopolar can just use the blade alone; no tissue sticking; SLOW CYCLING of active blade during coag can spread hemostasis. RAPID CYCLING of cutting allows for precision.
disrupts protein H bonds and causes coagulation
insulation failure on bovie
stray marks near operative field
argon beam mechanism
energy transferred across argon gas
2m necrosis (superficial coag)
and is NONCONTACT so hemostasis is good for liver // smokeless
gore tex vs dacron
gore text = PTFE = no fibroblast ingrowth
dacron = polypropylene =- allows fibroblast ingrowth (think mesh)

0.1%
Nd;YAG laser
good for deep penetration (bronchial lesions)
1-2 mm cut
3-10mm vaporize
1-2 cm coagulates
capacitative and direct coupling
charge dispersed through other instruments which would result on burns on contacted organ
monopolar thermal injury
2-3 days after index case
pneumoperitoneum effects (during lap)
increased intrathoracic pressure
decreased functional residual capacity and Vt (resp acidosis)
atelectasis
hypercarbia (diffusion)
hypercarbia -> systemic arterial vasodilation and myocardial depression
hyeprcarbia ->increased pulmonary vascular resistance (worsens pulmHTN and RV failure)
compression of IVC causing decreased preload and increased afterload overall hypotension from liimited cardiac output and myocardial depression (bradycardia)
stretching of vagal receptrs (cardiac slowing)
ideal pneumoperitoneum pressures
12-15 mm Hg
fine dissection requiring very precise heat?
use BIPOLAR
co2 embolism = gas lock effect
embolism in RA or RV blocking outflow from RV
increased end tidal CO2, hypotension, pulmonary hypertension, CV collapse
mgmt co2 embolism
cessation insufflation, Trendelenberg and LLD to keep them in the RA. HF O2, fluids, aspiration via CVC in RIJ
granulation tissue painful around PEG site
silver nitrate; don’t put protective padding (can cause tension)
what nerve must be included in vagotomy for ulcer disease
criminal nerve of Grassi (branch of posterior vagus)
gastric carcinoid tumors 3 types
- atrophic gastritis or pernicious anemia
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
- tumors occur sporadically.
mgmt gastric carcinoid tumor
complete regression of all tumors after antrectomy alone has been documented in patients with atrophic gastritis and multiple small carcinoids
local excision of the dominant tumor with antrectomy
GIST spread
hematogenously; to liver and peritoneal surfaces > spleen
GIST prognosis
Tumors 5-10 cm and 5+ mitoses per HPF were found to have the highest malignant potential. Need imatinib.
<2 cm and <5 mitoses per HPF = benign, NTD
2-5cm and <5 mitoses per HPF
and 10+cm with <5mitoses per HPF
worst px: esophag/colorectal primary, >10cm, >10M/10 HPF, local invasion, distant mets
bleeding duodenal peptic ulcer mgmt after 2x egd
The patient is likely bleeding from the GDA due to erosion from a posterior ulcer.
anterior duodenotomy and oversewn with a three-point U stitch, ligating the main vessel (GDA) superiorly and inferiorly and preventing back-bleeding with a medial stitch (transverse pancreatic aa). If this patient is stable in the operating room, a **vagotomy and pyloroplasty would be indicated because he has known peptic ulcer disease
no need to Bx if duodenal; transverse duodenal CLOSURE
MC cause of gastric ulcer
NSAIDs and H.pylori (but higher incidence of cancer compared to duodenal ulcer)
surgical tx of gastric ulcer that is BLEEDING
make sure to Bx…..
anterior gastrotomy, oversew, BIOPSY, close
need to Bx the ulcer and antrum ( to r/o H. pylori)
staging gastric ca
Start with EGD (identify it)
PETCT CAP
then EUS (T staging) with FNA
then Staging laparoscopy is essentialIF GREATER THAN T1B in the staging of gastric cancer (N and M) - NCCN
Peritoneal lavage with cytology testing is an important component of staging laparoscopy. mean overall survival of 14 to 20 months.
T1a: invade lamina propria
T1b: submuocsa
T2: invade muscular propria
T3: invade subseerosa
T4: into adjacent strucutr
N1: 1-2
N2: 3-6
N3 7+
M1 survival is 3-6 mos
Bile reflux gastritis
after Billroth II reconstruction as a consequence of a defective pyloric channel. It results from exposure of the gastric mucosa to bile, pancreatic secretions, and duodenal contents.
(intestinalization of gastric glands with inflammation).
mgmt: Conversion to Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy with a Roux limb of at least 40 cm is associated with symptomatic relief in up to 85% of patients. Distal Braun enteroenterostomy has been shown to improve symptoms of bile reflux gastritis in 53% of patients.
surveillance after gastrectomy for gastric adeno
stage II disease: CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis is necessary every 6 to 12 months for 2 years and then annually for up to 5 years
stage I disease, CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis should be performed as needed
internal hernia diagnosis (hx of RNY)
PO & IV contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis
= mesenteric swirl with volvulus of the Roux limb.
Afferent loop syndrome
Aff loop in B2 becomes partially or completely obstructed… diarrhea then obstructive jaundice and pancreatitis
pain relieved with bilious emesis
CT shows dilated afferent limb
mgmt afferent loop syndrome
surgical correction; eliminate the likely LONG afferent limb via conversion to RNY or enteroenterostomy below the stoma
abx too but limited; balloon but limited
efferent limb syndrome like an internal hernia
sx: n/v, pain
dx: CT
mgmt: surgical emergency!
perforated G or D ulcer from ulcer disease? first occurence or patient is not stable enough at subsequent episdoes
omental patch repair
perforated G or D ulcer from ulcer disease? SECOND occurrence (failed >12 mo medical therapy) and patient is stable enough
- Highly selective vagotomy - divide the anterior and posterior nerves of Latarjet and preserving the “crow’s feet” division at the antrum. 10% recurrence.
- Truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty has a 10% to 12% ulcer recurrence rate
**3. Truncal vagotomy with antrectomy [for GASTRIC ULCERS ANTRUM] followed by Billroth I or Billroth II (TL 2 is answer if duodenal disease) reconstruction has a lower ulcer recurrence rate at 1% to 2% since both cephalic and gastric phases of acid secretion are eliminated. Fiser says RNY is BEST after truncal + antrectomy
need to Bx and get the ulcer out at time of stomach surgery
mgmt gastric ca, margins and nodes
5-6 cm proximal
2 cm distal margins
at least 16 nodes (D1)
Neoadj T2 or N.
UnresectBle: paraaortic, encasement of vessels (aside from splenics), metastatic, peritoneal involvement
mgmt gastric ca linitis plastica
total gastrectomy because very diffuse
dumping syndrome early
20-30 minutes after eating
more common
pathophys: rapid shift of intracellular fluid into the intestinal lumen is incorrect because it is an extracellular fluid shift; likewise, this is more commonly related to early dumping syndrome effects
dumping syndrome late
2-3 hrs after eating.
sx: CARDIOVASCULAR, PALPITATIONS, TACHY, DIAPHROESIS, FAINTING, FLUSHING, BLURRED VISION
esp after B2
pathophys: rapid gastric emptying, specifically carbohydrates being delivered to the small intestine. These carbohydrates are quickly absorbed, causing hyperglycemia and insulin release. Subsequent overcompensation leads to profound hypoglycemia and increased catecholamine release from the adrenal glands.
mgmt: 6 small meals, separate liquid/solid, avoid sugar, increase fiber, candy between meals
siewert stein classification for GEJ tumors
Type I: ca in distal esophagus 1-5cm above anatomic GEJ
