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
