Extra Levator Abdomino Perineal Resection Dr Harsh Shah
This document discusses extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE) for rectal cancer. It describes how ELAPE aims to improve on conventional abdominoperineal resection (APR) by removing a larger volume of tissue, including the levator muscles, to obtain clear margins. Meta-analyses have found ELAPE results in lower rates of circumferential resection margin involvement, local recurrence, and involved nodes compared to APR. However, ELAPE also increases morbidity risks and requires perineal wound reconstruction. While ELAPE shows potential oncological benefits, more high-quality studies are still needed to prove its superiority over selective approaches.
The document discusses pancreatic trauma, including relevant anatomy, epidemiology, etiology, presentation, workup, staging, and treatment. Some key points:
- The pancreas is protected by surrounding structures but can be injured by penetrating trauma or direct blunt force.
- Injury is staged based on severity from grade I (minor) to grade V (massive disruption). Treatment depends on grade and location of injury.
- Workup may include labs, CT, MRCP, ERCP. Surgical treatment ranges from observation for minor injuries to distal pancreatectomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy for more severe injuries.
- Complications include pancreatic fistula, abscess, and pseudocyst.
This document summarizes the history and development of stapling devices in surgery from 1908 to present day. It begins with early stapling instruments developed in Hungary in the early 1900s and progresses through key innovations such as disposable, sterile cartridges; linear, circular, and hemorrhoidal staplers; adoption of titanium staples; and development of laparoscopic staplers. The document also discusses tissue properties, biomechanics of stapling, factors that influence optimal staple formation such as precompression time, and evidence that stapling results in fewer leaks and strictures compared to hand-sewn anastomoses.
This document discusses intestinal anastomosis, which involves creating a connection between intestinal loops or ends. Intestinal anastomosis is commonly performed for elective and emergency cases involving conditions like cancer, infections, or obstructions. The key factors for a successful anastomosis are minimal contamination, good blood supply, and tension-free apposition of the intestinal ends. The document compares hand-sewn and stapled techniques, noting that while staplers are faster, studies have found no difference in outcomes between the two methods. Proper patient factors and surgical technique are more important than the specific method used.
This document describes the technique of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy (TEP). It involves: 1) Dissecting the preperitoneal space to create working space; 2) Reducing any hernia sacs; 3) Placing a large mesh that extends beyond the hernia borders; 4) Optionally fixing the mesh with minimal staples. The goal is to reproduce the open 'Stoppa repair' technique laparoscopically using a large mesh with wide coverage and minimal fixation to reduce risks of nerve injury, pain, and recurrence."
Bile Duct Injury and Post Cholecystectomy Biliary StrictureArifuzzaman Shehab
Bile duct injuries are a devastating complication of gallbladder surgery that can have tremendous physical and mental effects on both surgeons and patients. Early recognition within 72 hours allows for minimal inflammation and the highest chance of successful repair. Diagnosis involves signs of abdominal pain and jaundice along with imaging and blood tests showing bile leakage and liver dysfunction. Management depends on the severity and location of the injury, ranging from endoscopic stenting to immediate surgical repair.
The document discusses different options for managing an open abdomen with a laparostomy, including techniques for closing such as primary suture, component separation with mesh, and considerations for when closure may be possible or necessary. Component separation is described as a useful technique that allows primary fascial closure but is also time consuming and can only be done once. Factors like infection risk, fascial retraction, and granulation are important to consider when determining if and how to close a laparostomy.

The document discusses properties that surgeons should consider when choosing a mesh for hernia repair. Ideal meshes are lightweight, with large pores to reduce foreign body reaction and chronic pain. Monofilament meshes have the lowest risk of infection. For intraperitoneal placement, composite meshes may reduce adhesions by providing an absorbable surface. Overall, lightweight polypropylene or polyester meshes are generally suitable in most contexts by balancing strength, flexibility and biocompatibility.
Bile duct injuries are a complex complication seen more frequently with laparoscopic cholecystectomies due to aberrant anatomy and increased procedures. They can involve the cystic duct, gallbladder bed, or major bile ducts. Various classification systems exist to describe the level and extent of injury. Injuries may be detected intraoperatively by cholangiogram abnormalities, bile drainage from unusual locations, or anomalous anatomy. Prevention strategies include proper case selection, opening retroperitoneal folds, dissecting close to the gallbladder, achieving the critical view of safety, and using intraoperative cholangiography.

Key points include that the cervical spine is made up of 7 vertebrae and has significant lordosis. Injuries are evaluated based on clinical exam, imaging, and stability classifications. Common injuries discussed are craniovertebral junction injuries, axis fractures, and subaxial cervical injuries. Initial management focuses on immobilization and identification of neurological deficits, while treatment depends on the injury and stability. Complications include spinal cord injury, which can impact respiratory and cardiovascular function.
1. The document outlines the steps for the primary and secondary survey in the initial assessment of a trauma patient. It includes assessing the airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure (ABCDE) and describes adjuncts like monitoring, imaging, catheter placement, investigations and treatments.
2. The primary survey involves a rapid assessment of life threats and stabilization, including airway management, breathing and ventilation, hemorrhage control, neurological assessment, and environmental control.
3. After initial stabilization, the secondary survey involves a full head-to-toe examination, gathering a medical history, considering transfer, and continued monitoring of the patient.
This document discusses common findings on CT brain scans related to various head injuries, including extradural hematoma (EDH), subdural hematoma (SDH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and brain contusions. It provides details on the visual appearance and timing of injuries, such as EDH appearing lens shaped in the acute phase, SDH potentially associated with bridging veins tears, and chronic SDH displaying septations.
This document outlines damage control surgery techniques for trauma patients. Damage control surgery aims to control hemorrhage and contamination through limited operations, followed by intensive care resuscitation and reoperation. Specific techniques are described for the thorax, vasculature, liver, pancreas, spleen, and hollow viscera. Temporary abdominal closure is commonly used to prevent abdominal compartment syndrome before planned reoperation and definitive repair. Complications of open abdomen like fluid/protein loss and intestinal fistula require careful management.
This document provides an overview of pelvic fractures, including:
1. Classification systems for pelvic fractures including the Tile and Young-Burgess systems.
2. Diagnosis involves a history of traumatic injury and physical exam to check for signs of bleeding from the pelvis. Imaging of the pelvis is also used.
3. Management focuses on reducing pelvic volume to control bleeding through techniques such as pelvic binding, preperitoneal pelvic packing, external fixation, and angiographic embolization.
This document provides an overview of common gastric problems for interns, including approaches to epigastric pain, alarm features in dyspeptic patients, and gastrointestinal evaluation of iron deficiency anemia. It discusses peptic ulcer disease, including causes, complications like bleeding and perforation, and treatment options. Evaluation of epigastric pain involves ruling out life-threatening conditions before considering treatments for conditions like gastritis. Endoscopy is recommended for dyspeptic patients with alarm features or risk factors for malignancy.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a common and preventable cause of hospital death. VTE results from an interaction between venous stasis, hypercoagulability, and endothelial injury. Risk factors include advanced age, immobilization, surgery, trauma, cancer, and genetic or acquired thrombophilias. DVT presents with leg pain, swelling, and discoloration while PE causes shortness of breath, chest pain, and potentially cardiovascular collapse. Diagnosis involves D-dimer testing, ultrasound for DVT, and CT pulmonary angiography for PE. Treatment includes anticoagulation with heparin, low
This randomized controlled trial compared two spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) strategies: a 2-hour T-piece trial versus a 30-minute trial with pressure support ventilation (PSV) of 8 cmH2O. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed a significantly higher rate of successful extubation, defined as being free of invasive ventilation for 72 hours, in the PSV group compared to the T-piece group. Reasons for reintubation were not significantly different between groups. While the T-piece SBT was less well tolerated, the PSV SBT of 30 minutes was sufficient to assess breathing ability without increasing post-extubation respiratory failure rates.
1) Variceal bleeding occurs in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension when enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach (varices) rupture.
2) Management of variceal bleeding involves stabilizing the patient, performing endoscopy within 12 hours to identify varices, and administering vasoactive drugs to control bleeding along with antibiotics to prevent infection. Endoscopic variceal ligation or sclerotherapy can help stop active bleeding from varices.
3) For non-variceal upper GI bleeding, endoscopic treatment with adrenaline, coagulation, or clips is usually attempted first. Surgery may be needed for uncontrolled or recurrent bleeding after failed endoscopic attempts.
This document discusses guidelines for treating head and cervical spine trauma. The key points are:
1) The primary goals for head trauma are to prevent secondary brain injury through oxygenation and prompt transfer to a trauma center, with CT scans not delaying transfer.
2) Cervical spine injury must be considered in multiple trauma patients and immobilized to prevent neurological worsening. Indications for immobilization include altered mental status, spinal symptoms, or concerning mechanism of injury.
3) Imaging of the cervical spine depends on clinical decision tools, with CT preferred if available from occiput to T1; if CT is unavailable, plain films from these regions including swimmer's and odontiod views may be obtained initially.
This document provides information on various skin, soft tissue, and hand infections including severity classifications. It describes conditions like abscesses, folliculitis, furuncles, carbuncles, erysipelas, cellulitis, and necrotizing fasciitis. For necrotizing fasciitis, it emphasizes the need for aggressive and rapid treatment including emergent debridement and antibiotics to prevent high mortality rates. It also covers specific hand infections like paronychia, felon, pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis, and bursal infections.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

7. Plain Abdomen
• Bowel obstruction
– Absent bowel gas distal to obstruction
– Different air-fluid level in the same loop
– String of pearl sign: small bubbles between
valvulae conniventes
– Distal large bowel obstruction, especially sigmoid
may be confused with generalized ileus if the
ileocecal valve is incompetent
8. Plain abdomen
• Ileus
– Diffusely gas-fill bowel including rectum
– Common causes of generalized ileus = abdominal
surgery, severe abdominal illness
– Localized ileus (sentinel loop): local inflammation
9. Fox JC. Clinical emergency radiology. Cambridge: Cambridge university press, 2008.
10. Fox JC. Clinical emergency radiology. Cambridge: Cambridge university press, 2008.
12. • Most common symptom of a large bowel
obstruction from malignancy is abdominal
distention
• History: recent weight loss, bowel habit
change, change in stool consistency
• Vomiting is a late sign and can be
stercoraceous
13. Treatment
• Partial obstruction: NG decompression and
one-stage procedure
• For unresectable disease: stent or colostomy
• For resectable disease:
– Right side: right hemicolectomy
14. Treatment: Left Side
• Loop colostomy/ileostomy
• Primary resection with end colostomy (Hartmann’s
procedure)
• Primary resection and anastomosis
– Total or subtotal colectomy
– Segmental colectomy
• With intraoperative colonic irrigation
• With manual decompression
• Endoscopic colonic stenting (self-expanding metallic
stent)
– Palliation
– Bridge to surgery
15. • Colostomy with staged procedure VS
Hartmann’s procedure:
– Colostomy with staged procedure: no more
popular, only decompression, allow surgeon to
evaluate clinical staging, CA rectum
– Hartmann’ s procedure is recommended over the
previous
16. • Hartmann’s procedure VS primary resection
and anastomosis:
– Primary anastomosis is recommended BUT only in
experienced surgeons and be careful on
anastomotic leakage (2.2 – 12%)
17. • Total/subtotal colectomy VS segmental
colectomy with intraoperative colonic
irrigation:
– SCOTIA (subtotal colectomy versus on table
irrigation and anastomosis) trial: segmental
colectomy is better
– Intraoperative colonic irrigation: more SSI
– Subtotal colectomy indication:
• Right colon ischemia
• Synchronous proximal malignant
18. • Intraoperative colonic irrigation VS manual
decompression:
– Both no different morbidity and mortality
– Manual decompression takes less time
19. • Stent VS colostomy for palliation:
– Stent is recommended due to safe and high success
rate
– Avoid stent in patients with avastin
– Stent: bridge from emergency to elective surgery
20. • Stent for bridging to surgery VS emergency
surgery:
– Stent is recommended
21. Self-Expandable Metallic Stent
(SEMS)
• Ideally: 2 cm above and below the stricture
• The waist of the stent should be in the middle
• Fully recoil within 24 – 48 hrs
• Complications:
– Perforation: associated bevacizumab
– Stent migration
– Stent failure
23. • May be secondary to:
– Acute: diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, radiation
colitis
– Chronic: from previous diverticulitis, pelvic
radiation, prior bowel anastomosis
24. Acute Inflammation
• Inflammation of diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease,
radiation colitis
• Can be treated with nonoperative management
if absent of peritonitis: NG, IV resusctitation,
antibiotics
• Surgery: Hartmann’s procedure or loop
colostomy for difficult cases
• Malignancy must always be a concern:
colonoscope
25. Chronic Stricture
• From stricture, inflammation, and fibrosis
• Previous diverticulitis, pelvic radiation, prior
bowel anastomosis
• Present with chronic constipation and partial
obstructive symptoms
• Should be evaluated for malignancy
• Treatment: elective one-stage resection or stent
27. • Volvulus: a torsion on the organ pedicle
• Volvulus of the large bowel results from the
colon’s twisting on its mesentery producing
symptoms by narrowing of the bowel lumen and
strangulation of the blood vessels
• Third most common
– Sigmoid
– Ileosigmoid
– Cecum
– Transverse colon
– Splenic flexure
29. • Most common volvulus
• Etiology:
– Sigmoid must be long, floppy, narrow mesenteric
root
– Disproportion between antimesenteric and
mesenteric sites when bowel becomes distended
and elongated
– Antimesenteric border elongates 30% whereas
mesenteric site 10%

Informa healthcare USA, 2007.
31. Pathogenesis
• Torsion clockwise or counterclockwise
• Torsion at least 180 degree (asymtomatic and
physiologic if less than this)
• Closed-loop type of obstruction
32. Gordon PH, Nivatvongs S. Principles and practice of surgery for the colon, rectum, and anus. 3rd ed. New york:
Informa healthcare USA, 2007.
33. Clinical Presentation
• Acute fulminating type
– Younger
– Sudden onset and rapid course: early vomiting, diffuse
abdominal pain, signs of gangrene, minimal abdominal
distention
• Subacute progressive type
– More common
– History of chronic constipation
– Abdominal distention is extreme
40. Rigid Sigmoidoscopic Decompression
• Jackknife position
• Lateral decubitus is acceptable
• Carefully insert sigmoidoscope and inspect for
ischemic mucosa or until torsion site is seen
• 40 to 60 cm rectal tube is gently passed and
fixed for 48 hrs
43. Sigmoid Decompression and Colopexy
• First deflate sigmoid by needle
• Insert rectal tube
• 4 -5 days after: colopexy
– 6 to 8 Strips of Gore-Tex band encircle the bowel
and are sutured to abdominal wall
44. Gordon PH, Nivatvongs S. Principles and practice of surgery for the colon, rectum, and anus. 3rd ed. New york:
Informa healthcare USA, 2007.
46. Foley Catheter Sigmoidostomy
• Fix redundant sigmoid to anterior abdominal
wall
• Foley catheter is removed 2 weeks later
47. T-Fasteners Sigmoidopexy
• Fix sigmoid to anterior abdominal wall with the
aid of colonoscopy
• 3 to 4 T-fastener pulls the sigmoid colon up
against the abdominal wall and is tightened on the
skin over the cotton pledget .These fasteners are
cut at the skin level after 28 days and pass with
stool. By this time, the sigmoid colon should
adhere to the anterior abdominal wall.
• The procedure is performed under mild sedation
48. Gordon PH, Nivatvongs S. Principles and practice of surgery for the colon, rectum, and anus. 3rd ed. New york:
Informa healthcare USA, 2007.
50. • Loop of sigmoid and ileum wrap each other
• Initiated by hyperactive ileum that winds itself
around the pedicle of a passive sigmoid loop
• Majority of patients present with peritonitis
51. Gordon PH, Nivatvongs S. Principles and practice of surgery for the colon, rectum, and anus. 3rd ed. New york:
Informa healthcare USA, 2007.
52. Treatment
• Emergency condition
• It cannot reduce via endoscopy
• Viable bowel: untie the knot and resection may
be primary anastomosis
• Gangrenous bowel: En bloc resection with no
anastomosis
55. • Reversed C
• Bird’s beak
• Whirl sign
Fox JC. Clinical emergency
radiology. Cambridge: Cambridge
university press, 2008.
56. Treatment
• Nonoperative reduction is generally
unsuccessful and hazardous
• Right hemicolectomy with ileostomy for
gangrenous
• Cecostomy with colopexy with peritoneal flap
• Last resort: CT-guided percutaneous
decompression and using SPC set
57. Gordon PH, Nivatvongs S. Principles and practice of surgery for the colon, rectum, and anus. 3rd ed. New york:
Informa healthcare USA, 2007.
61. • Colonic distension in the absence of
mechanical obstruction
• Complication: ischemia and perforation
• Clinical features:
– Abdominal distension
– Abdominal pain 80%
– Nausea and vomiting 60%
– Presence of bowel sound
62. • ACPO occurs in hospitalized patients with
significant comorbidity and may occurs
postoperative day 4
• Mechanical obstruction should be ruled out by
water-soluble enema
63. Fox JC. Clinical emergency
radiology. Cambridge: Cambridge
university press, 2008.
65. Supportive Treatment
• NPO
• Correct fluid and electrolyte imbalance: K, Mg,
Ca
• Treat systemic illness
• Stop exacerbating medications: opiates,
anticholinergics, antidiarrheal medication
(loperamide), TCA, antipsychotics, CCB, BB
• NG and rectal tubes
• Ambulation
• Avoid laxatives and enema
66. Neostigmine
• Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor
• Side effects: abdominal pain, nausea,
excessive salivation, bradyarrhythmia, renal
failure, exacerbate bronchoconstriction
• 2 mg IV with atropine
67. Colonoscopy
• Should be consider:
– Not improve after 24 hrs
– Mark cecal distention (>12cm) with significant
duration (>6days)
– Cannot tolerate neostigmine
• Colon should NOT be prepped with enema
• After successful colonoscopy, decompression
tube should be placed, flush q4-6hr with
saline, and remove after 72 hrs
68. Tube Cecostomy
• Can be considered:
– Do not respond to pharmacologic or endoscopic
decompression
– No evidence of ischemia
– Poor surgical candidate
69. Surgery
• Should only be considered when others
unsuccessful
• Colonic resection
• colostomy
72. • Present with melena or guaiac positive stool
• Less with abdominal pain, nausea, and
vomiting
• Mass may be palpated
• Most useful diagnostic test: CT
– target-shaped area of colon that represents the
intussusceptum in the center surrounded by the
intussuscipiens
74. • Unlike children, adult intussusception cause by
malignant focus: 43%
• Treatment: surgical resection along lymphatic
drainage without reduction
– Rt side Rt hemicolectomy
– Lt side Hartmann procedure
