Abdominal cases for SURGICAL FINALS Dr. Anika Kaura & Dr. Upama Banerjee
Approach to the surgical abdomen • Surgeons want it SHORT and SIMPLE • Use your normal schema for examination but be prepared to be INTERRUPTED! And to move on quickly from one aspect of examination to another • Don’t bore them with all the negatives! • Mention the positives and only a few RELEVANT negatives • E.g. I have examined the abdominal system of this gentleman who did not complain of any pain. The most obvious finding was a well healed rooftop incision. There were no peripheral stigmata nor abdominal masses on palpation and bowel sounds were present

STOMAS • “surgically created communication between the bowel and the skin” • OPTIONS : ileostomy / colostomy / ileal conduit • EXAMINATION • Site of the bag • Contents- liquid/solid • Output • Bowel flush/spouted • Bowel healthy? • Feel for parastoma hernias • Offer to digitate the stoma • ALWAYS OFFET TO INSEPCT PERINEUM FOR AN ANUS!!! • Beware of drain bags appearing like stoma bags
STOMA summary 3 Ss and 3 Cs • Site • Size • Skin • Contents • Condition- of stoma, and for which they have it • Complications Important to know about stoma care and role of stoma nurses, especially psychological impact
Which operation?!Cancers… Right hemi-colectomy Extended right hemi-colectomy Sigmoid-colectomy Left hemi-colectomy (rarely transverse colectomy)
Which operation?!Cancers… ANTERIOR RESECTION ABDOMINO- PERINEAL RESECTION • Rectal cancers: HIGH OR LOW
Ulcerative Colitis • Pan Procto-colectomy • Subtotal colectomy + rectal treatment • J POUCH FORMATION • (ileo-anal pouch)
Perforated Diverticula Hartmans
What to consider o/e SCAR RIGHT/LEFT STOMAS MUST ASK TO EXAMINE THE PERINEUM
Ileostomy NO ANUS? ANUS? ANTERIOR RESECTION END ILEOSTOMY
Ileostomy NO ANUS? ANUS? ANTERIOR RESECTION END ILEOSTOMY HIGH RECTAL CANCER RESECTION PAN-PROCTOCOLECTOMY
Colostomy NO ANUS? ANUS? HARTMANS ABDOMINO-PERINEAL RESECTION
Colostomy NO ANUS? ANUS? HARTMANS ABDOMINO-PERINEAL RESECTION PERFORATED DIVERTICULA LOW RECTAL CANCER
CASE 1 • Present the findings • Get ready for some viva questions
What do you want to know about the stoma?? • Single lumen • Bowel flush with the skin • Solid contents • Anus present • No excoriations/parastomal hernia
Questions • Differential for midline laparotomy and left sided stoma • Hartmanns- sigmoid colectomy and end colsotomy (reversible) • Anterior resection with reversible end colostomy (unlikely as elective so primary anastamosis) • Abdomino perineal resection- permanent end colostomy and NO anus • Loop colostomy- two lumens- either to defunction distal bowel (rare) or as palliative measure for distal Ca • Could always be ILEOSTOMY but just in a funny place!
Hartmanns procedure • EMERGENCY PROCEDURE • Sigmoid colectomy with end colostomy (reversible) • Usual indications: acute diverticulits especially perf! And acute obstructing sigmoid Ca
Diverticulitis • Outpouchings of mucosa through the bowel wall • Diverticulae/diverticulosis/diverticulits • Complications: diverticulitis, large PR Bleeds, perforation, abscess, fistulae, strictures leading to obstruction. • Investigations: basic to complicated: bloods, AXR, colonoscopy if well NOT if risk of perf, CT in acute
Diverticulitis ACUTE Mx • Nil by mouth • IV fluids • Analgesia • ABx- cef and met • Most managed conservatively +/- elective sigmoid colectomy • Emergency surgery for perf/not improving ---- Hartmanns --- most will not have colostomy reversed!
Hernias Scar related Groin - shorts v.common Complications of hernias
Groin lumps – hernias • How to dd a femoral vs inguinal • More likely be to a inguinal hernia • Why?
ABOVE & MEDIAL = INGUINAL BELOW & LATERAL = FEMORAL
Inguinal Hernias Inguinal anatomy! Scrotal mass cannot get above it Dd in the exam by occluding the deep ring
Hernias • ASIS Pubic tubercle • What is this called? • What lies here? • ASIS Pubic Symphysis • What is this called? • What lies here?
Definitive Operative Hesselbachs triangle Lichenstein tension free mesh repair Gold standard still open
CASE 2 • Present the findings • Get ready for some viva questions
What do you want to know about the fisutlae? • old/ current?? • Venepuncture marks • Palpable thrill • Audible murmur • multiple.--- prev failure of fistula • Thinks about complications
The renal transplant patient • Approach to examination LOADS of signs and clues! • Iliac fossa scar and mass – uni/bilat • Nephrectomy scars?? • Previous renal replacement Tx- old AV fistulae, HD scars in neck, PD scars abdo • Immunosuppresion SEs- cushingoid features, gum hypertrophy, BCC/SCC • Evidence of underlying renal disease- diabetic? etc
PRESENTATION • Example “I have just examine the abdominal system of this lady. The most obvious finding is scar in the RIF with a mass beneath consistent with a renal transplant without nephrectomy. She has an old AV fistula in the right arm and I can see well healed PD scars on the abdomen, indicating previous methods of renal replacement therapy. I notice some cushingoid features including striae and bruising on her legs. The transplant appears to still be working as the patient is euvolaemic and not uraemic; and there is no evidence of other current renal replacement therapy.”
COMPLICATIONS of transplant • REJECTION- hyperacute/acute/chronic • IMMUNOSUPPRESION - increase opportunistic infection PCP CMV - increase risk of skin malignancies - PTLD • TOXICITY OF IMMUNOSUPPRESANTS - hepato and nephrotoxic - cushings disease - ciclopsorin- gum hypertrophy
COMPLICATIONS of transplant • VASCULAR- thrombosis, RAS • Hypertension and increased risk of CV disease • URINARY- UTIs and vesicoureteric reflux • Chronic graft dysfunction +/- post transplant nephrectomy • Recurrence of the original disease • Psychological
COMPLICATIONS of haemodialysis • FLUID BLANCE Hypotension vs pulmonary oedema • Hypokalaemia • Disequilibirum syndrome- cerebral oedema • Aluminium toxicity • Infection from vascular access • Stenosis/thrombosis of access site • Dialysis related amyloid AA
Complications of av fistula • Failure to mature • Stenosis/thrombosis • Aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm • Infection • Venous hypertension • Steal phenomenon- distal tissue ischaemia • High output CF • Ishcaemic monomelic neuropathy
Urology - haematauria Vascular scars
Other topics to revise that we have touched on! • Bowel caner: screening programme, Dukes post op histology vs staging and grading • Different types of anastomsis, anastomitc leaks, complcations of a colectomy • Indications for dialysis; nephrectomy • CAPD and HD via tesio
