TrueLearn ABS Flashcards
Treatment of low grade MALT lymphoma
H. pylori treatment (50-100% complete remission)
Treatment for high grade MALT lymphoma
chemo/radiation
Fibrotic tumor w/ low mitotic index, high collagen content
Desmond tumor
Soft tissue mass w/ malignant fibroblasts and pleomorphic histiocytes
Pleomorphic sarcoma
Empiric antimicrobial therapy for VAP
Zosyn/carbepenem/cephalosporin + Vancomycin
The most common site for recurrence in colorectal cancer
liver
Level 1B lymph node station in neck
(submandibular triangle)
Anterior belly of digastric, posterior belly of digastric, mandible
Contains salivary lymph nodes, facial artery and vein
Carotid Triangle boundaries
Contains common carotid artery bifurcation, internal jugular vein
Bilious emesis, distended abdomen, soap bubble sign
Meconium Ileus
first sign of cystic fibrosis
meconium ileus
Hard signs of vascular injury
active pulsatile hemorrhage
expanding hematoma
bruit/thrill
absent distant pulses
distal ischemia
–> Immediate surgical exploration
Soft Signs of Vascular Injury
Persistent local bleeding
Nonpulsatile hematoma
wound near artery
decreased pulses compared to CL sign
any peripheral nerve deficits
–>Further work up (angiography, ABI)
In an APR what is used to guide dissection to connect perineal and pelvic dissections
The coccyx
Finger inserted between specimen and coccyx and sept laterally to identify the levator muscles. The levator ani muscles are dissected circumferentially by clamping and dividing them
Who is candidate for Transanal local excision
T1 cancer within 8cm of anal verge
<3cm in size
well differentiated
<30% circumference
Mobile, non fixed
ME of milrinone
PDE-3 inhibitor
Decrease rate of cAMP degeneration –> increases intracellular cAMP –> increases myocardial contractile mechanism
May Thurner Syndrome
Right common iliac artery compresses left common iliac vein at 5th lumbar vertebra results in chronic iliocaval venous occlusion
Symptoms of May Thurner Syndrome
Lower extremity swelling
venous claudication
Skin changes due to chronic stasis
acute DVT
Treatment of acute iliofemoral DVT
endovascular thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy followed by iliac vein stenting
Blood supply of abdominal esophagus
Left gastric
Left inferior phrenic artery
Blood supply of cervical esophagus
Inferior thyroid artery
Blood supply of thoracic esophagus
Branches of bronchial arteries
Branches direct of aorta
First step in laparoscopic right adrenalectomy
Divide the right triangular ligament to mobilize right lobe of the liver (superior/medial)
The hepatic flexure retracted inferior
Plane between right adrenal and IVC dissected
Expose adrenal vein, ligate
Followed by exposure of cephalic border, division of inferior phrenic arterial branches to the adrenal gland
Which nerves are most at risk during open inguinal hernia repair
iliohypogastric n: between transverse abdomens and internal oblique
ilioinguinal n: between transverse abdomens and internal oblique, passes through superficial inguinal ring anterior to spermatic cord
Describe location of genitofemoral nerve during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair
Enters deep inguinal ring w/ cord structures at the level of the iliopubic tract
Pathway of the posterior vagal trunk
branches to celiac plexus (continues posterior lesser curve)
branches to the posterior fundus (criminal nerve of Grassi)
Pathway of anterior vagal trunk
Sends branches to the liver (hepatic branches) before continuing on to form anterior nerves of Latajet
Nerves terminate at angularis incisura (crow’s foot)
Where is Killian Triangle
Mucosal herniation through an area of weakness just superior to the cricopharyngeus muscle
