Q

Surgery for PUD, duodenal ulcer

A

Only if refrax to med tx or if hemorrhage/obstruction/perf. Can do highly selective vagotomy, taking out branches going to the lesser curvature of stomach.

Q

Early dumping syndrome (a postgastrectomy syndrome)

A

Within 15 min of eating- rapid emptying of food into small bowel. Food is hyperosmolar, so fluid rapidly shifts from plasma into the small bowel -> hypotension. Presents with pain, diarrhea, nausea, tachycardia. Manage by eating small frequent meals and avoid high sugar content foods. Usu resolves 7-12 weeks.

Q

Late dumping syndrome (a postgastrectomy syndrome)

A

Hyperglycemia after meal -> insulin response -> hypoglycemia 2-3 hrs after meal. Present with dizziness, fatigue, diaphoresis, weakness. Tx is similar to early dumping syndrome.

Q

Alkaline reflux gastritis (a postgastrectomy syndrome)

A

Must rule out recurrent ulcer before diagnosing this. Presentation: chronic abd pain, bilious vomiting. Tx: R-en-Y gastrojejunostomy. Recurrence may occur after this procedure.

21
Q

Afferent loop syndrome (a postgastrectomy syndrome)

A

Obstruction of afferent limb following gastrojejunostomy. Present: RUQ pain after meal, steatorrhea, bilious vomiting, anemia; majority present in first week post-op. Dx with UGI series (afferent loop devoid of contrast). Tx: endoscopic balloon dilation or surgical revision.

22
Q

Complications of chronic gastritis

A

Gastric atrophy. Gastric metaplasia. Pernicious anemia 2/2 parietal cell atrophy -> no IF

23
Q

Causes of gastritis

A

Gastric reflux (e.g. pancreatic secretions), NSAIDs, alcohol, H pylori, Ischemia, nicotine, steroids (long term use)

24
Q

Causes of upper GI hemorrhage

A

Mallory Weiss tear, varices, gastritis, AVM, peptic ulcer

25
Q

Indications for bariatric surgery

A

BMI > 40 or BMI > 35 + comorbidities

26
Q

Vertical banded gastroplasty

A

Partitioning of stomach into small proximal pouch and more distal pouch. Results in earlier satiety signal tot hypothalamus, delayed gastric emptying. Advantage is that it does not interrupt anatomy of GI tract

27
Q

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

A

Bypassed: stomach, duodenum, and proximal jejunum. Jejunum transected 15 cm past ligament of Treitz and attached to antrum

28
Q

Roux-en-Y picture

A

see attached

29
Q

Gastric volvulus

A

Torsion of stomach, usu along long axis. Often assoc with paraesophageal hernia. May be acute but more often chronic. Presents with intermittent severe epigastric pain/distention + inability to vomit. Dx: upper GI contrast study. Tx: surgical repair of accompanying hernia plus gastropexy (fix stomach to ant ab wall), gastric resection if necrosis occurred.

30
Q

Majority of malignant stomach tumors are..?

A

Adenocarcinoma, 95%

31
Q

Risk factors for gastric adenocarcinoma

A

FAP, chronic atrophic gastritis, H pylori infection, post-partial gastrectomy, pernicious anemia, diet high in nitrates, smoking

32
Q

Types of gastric adenocarcinoma

A

Polyploid, ulcerative, superficial spreading (best prog), linitis plastica (very poor prog)

33
Q

Krunkenberg’s tumor

A

Met to ovaries, most commonly from gastric adenocarcinoma but can be from elsewhere such as breast

34
Q

Blumer’s shelf

A

Met to pelvic cul-de-sac (felt on DRE)

35
Q

Virchow’s node

A

Met to LN palpable in L supraclavicular fossa

36
Q

Best method for dx of gastric adenocarcinoma

A

Upper GI endoscopy

37
Q

Gastric cancer staging

A

see attached

38
Q

What is the second most common type of gastric malignancy?

A

Gastric lymphoma (includes but not limited to mucosa associated lymphoid tissue-MALT- lymphoma)

39
Q

What group is at increased risk of gastric lymphoma?

A

HIV positive

40
Q

Tx of gastric lymphoma

A

Low grade: tx for H pylori. High grade MALT or non-MALT lymphoma: rads/chemo. Resection only if bleeding or perf.

41
Q

Gastric sarcoma

A

Most are leiomyosarcomas. Tx is surgical resection.

42
Q

Carney triad

A

Gastric leiomyosarcoma, pulmonary chondromas, extra-adnreal paraganglioma. Syndrome seen in women under 40.

43
Q

Benign tumors of stomach (10% of stomach tumors overall)

A

Adenomatous polyps, lipomas, ectopic pancreas, Menetrier’’s disease, bezoars, Dieulafoy’s lesion

44
Q

Adenomatous polyps of stomach

A

Only type of stomach polyp with malignant potential. Bx lesions > 5 mm.

45
Q

Stomach lipoma

A

Do not need to biopsy, usu just found incidentally in endoscopy

46
Q

Ectopic pancreas

A

Rare. Often presents as “umbilicated dimple.” Bx to exclude malignancy.

47
Q

Menetrier’s disease

A

Autoimmune dz causing hypertrophic gastritis -> protein-losing enteropathy. Enlarged, tortuous rugae. Can lead to gastric cancer or ulcer. Tx: anticholinergics, H2 blockers to reduce protein loss; protein rich diet; tx ulcer/cancers if present; severe dz may require gastrectomy.

48
Q

Bezoars

A

Concretions of nondigestible matter that accumulate in stomach, may develop after gastric surgery. Sx are similar to those of gastric outlet obstruction (early satiety, vomiting etc.) Tx: proteolytic enzymes (papain), endoscopic fragmentation, surgical removal.

49
Q

Dieulafoy’s lesion

A

Developmental malformation of a tortuous arteriole in the stomach that erodse and bleeds. Presents with massive, recurrent, painless hematemesis. Dx: endoscopy. Tx: endoscopic sclerosing tx or electrocautery; wedge resection.
