- The book 'Essentials of Surgical Pathology' is dedicated to the author's father, the former director of Marghita Municipal Hospital.
- The authors of the book are two individuals.
- The ISBN number of the book is not specified.
- The book is specifically addressed to individuals in the medical field.
Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy
- The author is associated with the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Oradea.
Book Content
- Chapter 1 focuses on the esophagus, covering topics such as esophageal diverticulae, motility disorders, and diaphragmatic hernia.
- The middle third of the esophagus extends from the level of the carina to halfway between the carina and the oesophagogastric junction.
- The oesophagogastric junction is marked by an abrupt change from the tough pale squamous epithelium of the esophagus to the columnar epithelium of the stomach.
Esophageal Disorders
- Dysphagia is characterized by difficulty swallowing, and its symptoms can be associated with ingestion of liquids, solids, or both.
- Odynophagia is painful swallowing that usually indicates oesophagitis.
- A condition characterized by liquids being easier to swallow than solids, along with frequent regurgitation and recurrent chest infections, is likely achalasia.
- In any new symptom of progressive dysphagia, cancer should be assumed until proven otherwise.
- Obstructive dysphagia is first experienced at around 60% oesophageal lumen loss.
Peptic Ulcer Disease
- Helicobacter pylori is responsible for the vast majority of peptic ulcer disease.
- Dyspepsia is the term used to describe the varied symptoms produced by gastroduodenal disease.
- Epigastric dyspepsia is characterized by pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen, nausea and vomiting, early satiety, epigastric fullness, and regurgitation.
- Endoscopy is necessary for certain groups, including those with refractory ulcer disease despite maximal medical management.
- Surgical therapy options include vagotomy and pyloroplasty for patients with refractory ulcer disease.
Complications of Peptic Ulcers
- One complication of peptic ulcers is pylorus stenosis and gastric outlet obstruction due to fibrosis and scarring.
- The leading cause of death due to peptic ulcer disease is bleeding, with associated 5% to 10% mortality.
Esophageal Cancer
- The most common histological type of esophageal cancer is adenocarcinoma.
- The aim of surgery for esophageal cancer is to remove the tumor and restore the integrity of the digestive tract.
- The male to female ratio in esophageal cancer epidemiology is 3:1.
- The most common form of esophageal cancer is squamous cell carcinoma.
- A common risk factor for esophageal cancer is smoking.
Diaphragmatic Hernia
- The most common type of diaphragmatic hernia involves the fundus of the stomach rotating in front of the esophagus.
- Common signs and symptoms of diaphragmatic hernias include chest pain, dysphagia, and regurgitation.
Other Conditions
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is characterized by a typical symptom of heartburn.
- The primary weakness associated with the development of GERD is the lower esophageal sphincter.
- Inflammation of the myenteric plexus, leading to fibrosis and selective destruction of noncholinergic, non-adrenergic inhibitory neurones, causes achalasia.
- Leiomyoma has a predilection for the lower third of the esophagus.
- Pancreatitis is characterized by inflammation of the pancreas.
- Cholelithiasis is associated with the presence of stones in the gallbladder.
- A buildup of cholesterol crystals in the gallbladder wall is characterized by cholesterosis.
- Tumors that affect the small intestine are commonly adenocarcinomas.
- Transmural inflammation of the intestines involving all layers of the bowel wall is characterized by Crohn's disease.
- The dilatation of the large intestine that occurs due to severe inflammation and paralysis of the colon is characterized by toxic megacolon.
- A common indication for splenectomy is trauma.
- Appendicitis is characterized by an acute infection and inflammation of the appendix.
