surgery Flashcards
Mx Anal fissure
Acute:
1. laxative, lubricants, topical anaesthetics, analgesia
2. topical GTN
3. ineffective after 8wks-> sphincterotomy/ Botulinum toxin injection
Femoral vs inguinal hernia
inguinal hernia: medial to pubic tubercle
femoral: lateral to pubic tubercle
difference btw strangulated vs incarcerated hernia
strangulated: surgical emergency-> blood supply cut off
incarcerated: unable to reduce
hydrocele mx
infatile hydrocele-> usually resolve
adults: conservative approach depending on severit of presentation
CRC screening
every 2 yr ALL M+F FIT test kit
60-74 years
gastric ulcer which one worsening before or after eating
Worsened by eating
cerebral perfusion pressure equation
CPP= MAP- ICP
Cushing’s reflex
physio nervous system response to increase ICP= HTN, Bradycardia with wide pulse pressure to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure
Normal Psa level
50-59: 3.0 ng/ml
60-79:4
>70: 5
PAD &CLTI DX
us Doppler
ABPI pad- <0.9, CLTI <0.5
CT angiogram
Medication mx PaD
St line clopisogrel
Statin 80mg
For CLTI- unfractionated heparin
Mx stone <5mm
Typically spontaneously passes within 4 weeks of sx onset
More intensive and urgent tx indicated in presence of ureteric obstruction, renal developmental abnormality.
Ureteric obstruction and infection is surgical emergency-> needs nephrology/ ureteric stent/ ureteric catheter
Priapism mx and dx
Dx largely clinical. Cavernosal blood gas low pH and pO2, high pCO2. Doppler/ duplex US
Ischaemic : if >4- aspiration of blood from cavernosa + saline flush. If aspiration fails intracavernosal injection vasoconstriction agent eg. Phenylephrine and repeated 5 min
N-ischaemic: no medical emergency
Age related PSA
50-59 3.0ng/ml
60-69 4.0ng/ml
>70 5.0 no/ml
