    Study Notes

    Gastrointestinal

    • Ligament of Treitz: Connects the duodenum to the jejunum; important anatomical landmark.
    • Blood supply:
      • Celiac trunk branches into splenic, common hepatic, and left gastric arteries.
      • Superior Mesenteric Artery: Supplies small intestine, ascending colon, and ⅔ of transverse colon.
      • Inferior Mesenteric Artery: Supplies from the transverse colon down to the rectum.
    • Surgical technique sequence: Clamp - clamp - cut - tie for bowel surgery.
    • Bowel Isolation Techniques: Prevents cross-contamination and mechanical metastasis of malignant cells during surgery; involves irrigation before closure.
    • Instrument handling: Bowel instruments separated from clean instruments, placed in a K-basin.
    • Extra draping: Applied around the incision area for closure to maintain sterility.
    • Staplers in surgery:
      • GIA (Gastrointestinal Anastomosis): Cuts, staples, and divides simultaneously; suitable for side-to-side anastomosis; can join various lumen sizes.
      • TA (Thoracoabdominal Stapler): Requires manual cutting after stapling.
      • EEA (End to End Anastomosis): Performs end-to-end and end-to-side anastomosis; cuts in a circular fashion.
    • Mesenteric Repair: Necessary when bowel is removed to prevent postoperative bowel entrapment and obstruction.
    • Nissen Fundoplication:
      • Involves plication (shortening stomach tissue) and crurrorhaphy (suture repair).
      • Balance in suturing tension is critical: excessive tension leads to food obstruction; insufficient tension may allow GERD to persist.
    • Bariatric surgeries:
      • Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass: Reduces stomach size, connecting to the jejunum; food bypasses the duodenum, promoting quicker satiety.
      • Gastric Lap Band: Adjustable band restricting ingested food volume.
      • Sleeve Gastrectomy: Removes 85% of the stomach for food restriction.
    • Colostomy/Ileostomy:
      • Temporary colostomies: Indicated for bowel rest or healing; Hartmann's procedure used in emergencies.
      • Permanent colostomy: Rosebud colostomy may be performed for cancer.
    • Abdominoperineal Resection: Removes lower sigmoid, rectum, and anus; necessitates dual surgical teams and specific positioning.

    Gynaecology

    • Uterine Ligaments: Include cardinal, uterosacral, round, and broad ligaments.
    • Dilation and Curettage (D & C): Procedure involving cervix dilation to scrape uterine lining, typically for heavy bleeding or post-miscarriage clean-up.
    • Vault Count: Conducted during cervical entry/removal; includes initial and closing counts.
    • Pneumoperitoneum:
      • Closed pneumoperitoneum achieved with Verres needle.
      • Volume: 2.5-4 L; maintain pressure below 16 mmHg to avoid gas embolism.
    • Hysterectomy types:
      • Total Abdominal: Removal of the entire uterus and cervix.
      • Partial/Subtotal: Removal of the uterus only.
      • Radical: Extensive removal including surrounding organs and lymph nodes.
    • Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy (BSO): Removal of both fallopian tubes and ovaries.
    • Endometrial Ablation: Utilizes non-electrolytic ionic media for menorrhagia treatment; considerations for fluid intake/output due to potential complications.
    • Ovarian Cancer: Often asymptomatic until late-stage; prevalent in women aged 50-60 years.
    • Pelvic Exenteration: Comprehensive removal of pelvic organs due to persistent carcinoma, typically post-radiation therapy.

    Urology (Genitourinary)

    • Counting Procedures: Differentiated methods for laparoscopic and open surgeries to maintain sterility.
    • Cystoscopy: Diagnostic tool for visual examination; utilizes flexible scopes for men and rigid scopes for women.
    • TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate): Treats enlarged prostates without removing capsule; monitors for fluid overload and potential bladder perforations.
    • Irrigation Fluids:
      • Normal Saline: Used for observational cystoscopies.
      • Sterile Water: Employed with monopolar cautery in specific conditions.
    • Kidney Transplant: Typically left kidney used due to longer vein; requires careful donor selection; recipient's native kidney usually retained unless cancerous.
    • Prostatectomy Types:
      • Suprapubic: Transvesical removal approach, mainly for obstruction.
      • Retropubic: Allows excellent exposure and closure of the prostate's capsule; nerve-sparing technique preserves erectile function.
    • Ileal Conduit: Created post-radical cystectomy; urine is diverted through a stoma using a segment of ileum.

    Cardiovascular

    • Heart Anatomy:
      • Chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle.
      • Valves: tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, aortic.
    • Blood Circulation:
      • Deoxygenated blood flows from vena cavae to lungs; oxygenated blood returns to the body via the aorta.
    • Nursing Interventions:
      • Review cardiac catheterization for coronary artery status and potential bypass requirements.
      • Monitor anesthesia closely during induction; apply CPBM when necessary.
    • CPBM (Cardiopulmonary Bypass Machine): Facilitates temporary heart and lung bypass during surgery, allowing for cardiac manipulation.
    • CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft): Addresses severe coronary artery disease; uses various grafts, often from internal mammary arteries, for longevity.
    • Pacemaker and ICD:
      • Pacemaker adjusts abnormal heart rhythms.
      • ICD monitors activity and delivers shocks for critical dysrhythmias.

    Thoracic

    • Thoracic Anatomy: Includes pleural cavity components and respiratory structures such as the trachea and bronchi.
    • VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery): Minimally invasive approach with specific counting protocols.
    • Double Lumen ETT: Enables single-lung ventilation, crucial for lobectomies.
    • Lung Procedures:
      • Wedge resection removes localized lesions.
      • Lung lobectomy entails complete lobe removal, requiring precise mobilization techniques.
    • Lung Volume Reduction Surgery: Targets hyperinflated lung tissue in COPD patients; uses stapling for vascular management.
    • Esophagectomy Techniques:
      • Approaches include transhiatal and transthoracic, utilizing dual or tri-incisional strategies for complex cases.
