Surgical Aspects Gastric/Duodenal Disorders Flashcards
Where are parietal + cheif cells found in the stomach?
Only Fundus
Phases of HCL Digestion
Cephalic: Vagus nerve ACh release
Gastric: Atral release of Gastrin
Intestinal: SI release of GI peptides + Histamine
What are the primary concerns/complications of Duodenal Ulcer Disease
- Hemorrhage when ulcer erodes into gastroduodenal artery
- Erosion of anterior/superior side of duodenum leading to spilling contents into abdomen
What features require surgical intervention of PUD?
hemorrhage, perforation, and obstruction,as well as failure of nonoperative managemen
How does time of perforation determine surgical strategy?
> 6 H: only Plication
<6 H: Plication + Acid-reducing procedure
Tx of Upper GI hemorrhage
- Gastric decompression
- Gastric Lavage
- Antacid Tx
- Tx hemodynamics
T Acute PUD Obstruction
- stomach should be decompressed with a nasogastric tube for 5 or 6 days
- total parenteral nutrition
Gastric vs Duodenal Ulcer testing
Gastric: Biopsy every time
Duodenal: Only Biopsy if mass present
Surgical intention of duodenal Ulcer Disease
Vagotomy:
- Trunkal
- selective
- proximal gastric
Test for ZES
Secretin infusion test -> Profound rise in serum Gastrin
Gastric Ulcer Presentation
- Epigastric pain radiating to back
- Produced by ingestion of food
- weight loss
What are diagnostic signs of Gastric ulcers
- Normal to low Gastrin acid secretion
- Possible Achlorhydria (sign of malignancy)
Surgical intervention Gastric Ulcer Disease
Distal Gastrectomy
Postgastrectomy syndrome
- Early dumping
- Late Dumping:
- Afferent loop obstruction:
- Blind Loop Syndrome
- Alkaline Reflux Gastritis
- Recurrent Ulcer Disease
- Gastric Atony
- Nutritional disturbance
Dumping syndromes
- Early dumping: 15 min after ingesion; anxiety, weakness, tachycardia, diaphoresis, Diarrhea
- Late Dumping: within 3 H after meals, desire of recumbent position, Anxiety, tachycardia, weakness, fatigue, and NO associated dumping
