What is Hartmann’s procedure?
- Proximal colostomy
2. Distal stapled-off colon or rectum that is left in peritoneal cavity

What is a Stamm gastrostomy?
Gastrostomy place by open surgical incision and tacked to the abdominal wall
What is a highly selective vagotomy?
Transection of vagal fibers to the body of the stomach without interruption of fibers to the pylorus (does not need pyloroplasty or other drainage procedure because the pylorus should still function)
What is enterolysis?

What is LOA?
Lysis Of Adhesions
What is an appendectomy?
Removal of the appendix
What is a lap appy?
Laparoscopic removal of the appendix
What is a cholecystectomy?
Removal of the gallbladder
What is a lap chole?
Laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder
What is a Nissen?
Nissen fundoplication:
360 wrap of the stomach by the fundus of the stomach around the distal esophagus to prevent reflux
What is a lap Nissen?
Nissen fundoplication with laparoscopy
What is a simple mastectomy?
Removal of the breast and nipple without removal of nodes
What is a choledochojejunostomy?
Anastomosis of the common bile duct to the jejunum (end-to-side)
What is a Graham patch?
Placement of omentum with stitches over a gastric or duodenal perforation
What is a Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty?
Longitudinal incision through all layers of the pylorus, sewing closed in a transverse direction to make the pylorus nonfunctional (used after truncal vagotomy)
What is a Pringle maneuver?
Temporary occlusion of the porta hepatis (for temporary control of liver blood flow when liver parenchyma is actively bleeding)
What is a modified radical mastectomy?
Removal of the breast, nipple, and axillary lymph nodes (no muscle removed)
What is a lumpectomy and radiation?
Removal of breast mass and axillary lymph nodes.
Normal surrounding breast tissue is spared.
Patient then undergoes postoperative radiation treatments.
What is an I&D?
Incision and Drainage of pus.
The wound is then packed open.
What is exploratory laparotomy?
Laparotomy to explore the peritoneal cavity looking for the cause of pain, peritoneal signs, obstruction, hemorrhage, etc.
What is a TURP?
TransUrethral Resection of the Prostate:
Removal of the obstructing prostatic tissue via scope in the urethral lumen
What is a fem pop bypass?
FEMoral artery to POPliteal artery bypass using synthetic graft or saphenous vein.
Used to bypass blockage in the femoral artery.
What is an ax fem?
Long prosthetic graft tunneled under the skin placed from the AXillary artery to the FEMoral artery
What is a AAA repair?
Open aneurysm and place prosthetic graft, then close old aneurysm sac around graft
What is a CABG?
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft:
Via saphenous vein graft or IMA bypass grafts to coronary arteries from aorta (cardiac revascularization)
What is Hartmann’s pouch?
Oversewing of a rectal stump (or distal colonic stump) after resection of a colonic segment.
Patient is left with a proximal colostomy.
What is a PEG?
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy:
Endoscope is placed in the stomach, which is then inflated with air.
A needle is passed into the stomach percutaneously, wire is passed through the needle traversing the abdominal wall, and the gastrostomy is then placed by using the Seldinger technique over the wire.
What is an ileoanal pull-through?
Anastomosis of the ileum to the anus after total proctocolectomy
What is a hemicolectomy?
Removal of a colonic segment (i.e. partial colectomy)
What is a truncal vagotomy?
Transection of the vagus nerve tunis.
Must provide drainage procedure to stomach (e.g. gastrojejunostomy or pyloroplasty) because after truncal vagotomy, the pylorus does not relax.
What is an antrectomy?
Removal of stomach antrum
What is a Whipple procedure?
Cholecystectomy, truncal vagotomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy (removal of the head of the pancreas and duodenum), choledochojejunostomy, pancreaticjejunostomy (anastomosis of distal pancreas remnant to the jejunum), gastrojejunostomy
