    Study Notes

    Colorectal Disorders and Hernias

    • Constipation Treatment: Increasing dietary fiber and water intake is the first-line treatment for constipation.
    • Strangulated vs. Incarcerated Hernia: A strangulated hernia is distinguished by severe pain and systemic toxicity, while an incarcerated hernia shows visible bowel protrusion and inability to reduce.
    • Diverticulosis Location: Diverticulosis most commonly affects the sigmoid colon.
    • Diverticulitis Diagnosis: A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis is the primary diagnostic test for diverticulitis.
    • Internal Hemorrhoid Grade: Grade II internal hemorrhoids prolapse and reduce spontaneously.
    • Anal Fissures: Fiber supplements and sitz baths are the initial treatment for anal fissures.
    • Perirectal Abscess Risk Factor: Anal crypt gland infections are a major risk factor for perirectal abscesses.
    • Colorectal Cancer Detection: Colonoscopy is the most sensitive diagnostic test for colorectal cancer.
    • Lynch Syndrome: Characterized by APC gene mutation and DNA mismatch repair defects.
    • Untreated Diverticulitis Complications: Untreated diverticulitis can result in fistula formation or peritonitis.
    • Chronic Constipation Complications: Potential complications of chronic constipation include rectal prolapse, colonic perforation, and hemorrhoids.
    • Thrombosed External Hemorrhoids: Elliptical excision and clot removal is the preferred management for thrombosed external hemorrhoids.
    • Colorectal Cancer Metastasis Detection: MRI with gadolinium is highly sensitive for detecting liver metastases in colorectal cancer.
    • Femoral Hernias: More common in females than males.
    • Anal Fissure Symptom: Severe, tearing pain with defecation is a hallmark symptom of anal fissures.
    • Internal Hemorrhoids Requiring Manual Reduction: Grade III internal hemorrhoids require manual reduction.
    • Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP): Caused by an APC gene mutation, leading to sporadic colorectal cancer.
    • Perirectal Abscess Diagnosis: Digital rectal examination is the initial diagnostic test for a suspected perirectal abscess.
    • Colorectal Cancer Symptom: Changes in bowel habits or rectal bleeding are common presenting symptoms of colorectal cancer.
    • Diverticulosis Colonoscopy Finding: Outpouchings of the colon wall is the most characteristic finding during colonoscopy for diverticulosis.
