Study Notes
Surgical Techniques and Procedures
- Laparoscopic surgeries involve three main phases: initial major closure and final minor closure.
- Open surgeries also consist of initial major closure, but both closing phases are major, with a final minor closure.
Cystoscopy and Related Procedures
- Cystoscopy is utilized for simple observational diagnoses.
- Flexible cystoscopes are preferred for male patients with obstructive symptoms; rigid scopes are used for females.
- Resectoscopes contain electronically powered cutting loops for more advanced procedures.
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
- TURP is performed for benign prostatic tumors and helps alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
- Only prostate tissue is excised; the capsule remains intact.
- Monopolar cautery uses nonelectrolytic ionic mediums to reduce complications.
- Irrigation fluid overload can lead to hypervolemia and hyponatremia, which may result in respiratory changes and abdominal discomfort; cystograms are performed if bladder perforation is suspected.
Irrigation Fluids
- Normal saline is used in observational cystoscopy and procedures like laser pyelithotomy.
- Sterile water is safe for monopolar cautery when high absorption isn’t expected (TURBT).
- Nonelectrolytic solutions are utilized in TURP to manage higher absorption risks.
Kidney Transplant
- Aimed at restoring renal function in patients with end-stage renal disease.
- Typically, the left kidney is removed due to a longer vein than the right.
- Ideal donors are healthy, young individuals without infections or cancers, with optimal oxygenation conditions during brain death.
- The transplant recipient requires nutritional support and dialysis; the native kidney is retained unless malignant.
- Anastomosis involves connecting donor and recipient vessels: donor renal vein to recipient's iliac vein and renal artery to internal iliac artery.
Prostatectomy Procedures
- Prostatectomy encompasses the removal of the prostate due to enlargement or cancer.
- Suprapubic prostatectomy utilizes a transvesicle approach via bladder incision for obstructive tissues.
- Simple retropubic prostatectomy provides excellent exposure and involves closing the capsule post-removal.
- Nerve Sparing Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy with Pelvic Lymphadenectomy targets organ-confined carcinoma while preserving erectile function by avoiding nerve damage.
Urinary Diversion Techniques
- Radical cystectomy is performed when the tumor invades the bladder's muscular wall, often leading to the creation of an ileal conduit.
- An ileal conduit serves as an artificial bladder, diverting urine into a stoma from a piece of isolated ileum.
- Kock pouch functions as a continent ileostomy allowing patients to self-catheterize to manage urine flow.
Additional Surgical Terminology
- Ureteroscopy and urethroscopy are endoscopic techniques to remove stones from the urinary tract.
- Pyelithotomy involves stone removal from the renal pelvis.
- Orchidopexy fixes undescended testicles in the correct anatomical position within the scrotal sac.
