Study Notes
Surgical Anatomy and Techniques
- Ligament of Treitz: connects the duodenum to the jejunum; significant landmark in gastrointestinal anatomy.
- Blood supply to the stomach and intestines comes from:
- Celiac trunk: branches include splenic, common hepatic, and left gastric arteries.
- Superior mesenteric artery: supplies small intestine, ascending colon, and â…” of the transverse colon.
- Inferior mesenteric artery: supplies transverse colon down to rectum.
Bowel Isolation Techniques
- Initiated upon clamping and opening of the gastrointestinal tract to prevent cross-contamination and metastasis of malignant cells.
- Bowel instruments kept separate from clean instruments in a K-basin.
- Extra draping may be added around the incisional area for enhanced isolation.
- Surgical team must change gloves and gowns post-anastomosis and before closure.
Stapling Devices in Surgery
- GIA (Gastrointestinal Anastomosis): facilitates side-to-side anastomosis, able to handle different lumen sizes, available in endoscopic form.
- TA (Thoracoabdominal Stapler): staples tissue together; requires manual cutting.
- EEA (End to End Anastomosis) or ILS (Intraluminal Stapler): performs circular cuts for end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis, primarily used in the lower bowel.
Mesenteric Repair
- Dissection of mesenteries during bowel removal necessitates repair to prevent post-operative bowel entrapment and obstruction.
Bariatric Surgery
- Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass: reduces stomach size, connects to the jejunum, leading to reduced calorie absorption and increased satiety.
- Gastric Lap Band: adjustable band around the stomach restricts food intake.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: removes 85% or more of the stomach to limit food intake.
Colostomy/Ileostomy
- Temporary procedures allow bowel rest due to disease or facilitate anastomosis healing.
- Hartmann's Procedure entails a colostomy with a closure of the distal stump, allowing return surgeries after a healing period.
- Permanent colostomies may occur after cancer surgery.
Uterine Procedures
- CRUB ligaments (Cardinal, Uterosacral, Round, Broad) play a crucial role in uterine stabilization.
- D & C (Dilation and Curettage): uterine lining scraping performed for heavy bleeding or post-miscarriage.
- Vault Count: surgical count method when entering or removing the cervix.
Hysterectomy Types
- Total Abdominal Hysterectomy: removes uterus and cervix.
- Partial/Subtotal: removes only the uterus.
- Radical Hysterectomy: encompasses removal of uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding lymph nodes.
Kidney Transplant
- Typically performed laparoscopically for enhanced recovery; donor kidneys from younger, healthy individuals with intact blood flow are preferred.
- Anastomosis involves connecting the donor's renal artery and vein to recipient's iliac artery and vein.
Prostate Surgery
- Various techniques such as Suprapubic and Simple Retropubic Prostatectomy focus on removing the prostate to alleviate urinary obstruction.
- Nerve Sparing Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy protects erectile function while excising cancerous prostate tissue.
Lung Surgery
- VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) allows for lobectomy and wedge resection of lung lesions with minimized recovery time.
- Double lumen ETT facilitates single-lung ventilation during procedures.
- Esophagectomy techniques vary, including transhiatal and transthoracic methods for esophageal cancer treatment.
Interventions for Cardiac Procedures
- Cardiac catheterization reveals coronary arteries' health for planning bypass grafts, using synthetic sutures for vascular repair.
- Cardiopulmonary Bypass Machine (CPBM) diverts blood flow during heart surgery, allowing surgeons to operate on a still heart.
Medications and Solutions in Surgery
- Heparinized solutions prevent clotting during procedures; Papavarine serves as a vasodilator.
- CABG focuses on revascularization in patients with severe coronary artery disease using mammary artery grafts for effective long-term results.
Additional Surgical Terms
- Ureteroscopy and urethroscopy are procedures for stone removal from the urinary tract.
- Pyelithotomy involves the extraction of stones from the renal pelvis.
- Orchidopexy fixes undescended testicles back into the scrotum.
