Study Notes
Classifications of Surgical Procedures
- Classifications include seriousness, urgency, and purpose.
Seriousness of Surgical Procedures
- Divided into two categories: major and minor.
Major Surgery
- Carries greater risk, often longer and more extensive.
- Examples include coronary artery bypass, colon resection, and lung lobe resection.
Minor Surgery
- Involves minimal risk and reconstruction, typically for correcting deformities.
- Examples include tooth extraction and cataract extraction.
Urgency of Surgical Procedures
- Categorized as elective, urgent, and emergency.
Elective Surgery
- Patient's choice; not essential for health.
- Examples include hernia repair, breast reconstruction, and bunionectomy.
Purpose of Surgery (CCRAPPD)
- Types include:
- Cosmetic
- Constructive
- Reconstructive/Restorative
- Ablative
- Procurement for transplant
- Diagnostic
Cosmetic Surgery
- Aims to improve personal appearance.
- Examples include rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
Constructive Surgery
- Restores function lost due to congenital abnormalities.
- Examples include repair of cleft palate and closure of atrial defect in the heart.
Reconstructive/Restorative Surgery
- Restores function or appearance of damaged or malfunctioning tissues.
- Examples include internal fixation of fractures and scar revision.
Ablative Surgery
- Involves excision or removal of diseased body parts.
- Examples include amputations and removal of the appendix or gallbladder.
Procurement for Transplant
- Removal of organs and/or tissues from a brain-dead individual for transplantation.
- Common organs for donation include kidneys, hearts, and livers.
