Cholecystectomy open versus laparoscopic surgeryImran Javed
This document compares open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures. Open cholecystectomy is easier to perform and more cost effective, but results in a longer hospital stay and poorer cosmetic outcomes. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now the gold standard, providing shorter recovery time and fewer complications, but requires specialized equipment and training and carries a higher risk of duct injuries. Both approaches are appropriate depending on the patient's condition and surgeon's expertise.

This document provides an overview of the history and techniques for orthotopic neobladder urinary diversion. Some key points:
- Orthotopic diversion was pioneered in the 1950s as an alternative to ureterosigmoidostomy and ileal conduit diversion due to complications of those procedures.
- Patient selection considers oncologic factors like risk of urethral recurrence and tumor stage, as well as patient factors like age, renal function, manual dexterity, and prior treatments.
- Surgical techniques aim to optimize continence by preserving the rhabdosphincter and its innervation during cystectomy. For males the urethra is detached in a retrograde
This document discusses catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). CAUTIs occur when germs travel along a urinary catheter into the bladder or kidneys, causing an infection. People with urinary catheters have a much higher risk of UTIs than those without. Symptoms can include burning during urination or fever. To prevent CAUTIs, catheters should only be used when necessary and removed promptly using sterile technique. Proper catheter care including hand hygiene and keeping the drainage bag below the bladder level is also important. Hospitals should have nurse-driven protocols to assess ongoing need for catheters and ensure prompt removal when no longer required.
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) are invasive radiological procedures used to image and drain the biliary tree. PTC involves inserting a needle into the liver under imaging guidance and injecting contrast dye to delineate the biliary anatomy. PTBD places a drainage catheter through the liver and into the blocked bile duct to relieve obstruction. Both procedures require imaging, sterile technique, antibiotics and monitoring for potential complications like bleeding, infection and bile leakage. They are used when less invasive options fail or are contraindicated for evaluating and treating biliary obstruction.
The document discusses an intravenous urogram (IVU), also known as an intravenous pyelogram (IVP). An IVU uses intravenous contrast dye and x-ray imaging to evaluate the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. It provides an anatomical roadmap and can detect abnormalities like obstructions. Patient preparation includes fasting, laxatives, and a scout film is done prior to injecting contrast dye intravenously and obtaining serial x-ray images as the dye moves through the urinary system. Potential risks are minimal but include reactions to the contrast dye and exposure to radiation.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the current gold standard for surgical removal of the Gall bladder, particularly in benign pathologies. Hence, it is necessary to highlight some steps to accomplish this procedure successfully while avoiding pitfalls.

This document discusses post-operative care in three phases: immediate recovery, intermediate hospital stay, and recovery at home. It focuses on maintaining homeostasis, treating pain, and preventing complications in the first two phases. Common complications include pulmonary, cardiovascular, and fluid issues. The document outlines monitoring, respiratory care, wound care, pain management, and other orders and treatments during post-operative recovery.
This document summarizes the assessment and management of abdominal trauma. It discusses the anatomy most commonly injured by blunt or penetrating trauma, including the spleen, liver, and small bowel. The physical exam involves inspection, auscultation, percussion, and palpation of the abdomen and pelvis. Adjunct studies include x-rays, FAST scan, diagnostic peritoneal lavage, and CT scan to identify internal injuries. Management may involve gastric/urinary decompression or surgery depending on the severity of injuries found.
Laparoscpic Cholecystectomy by Dr.nowarNoushin Nowar
This document discusses laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder through small incisions using an endoscope. It outlines the indications, contraindications, anesthesia used, positioning of the patient and surgical team, steps of the procedure, advantages/disadvantages, postoperative care, and some key outcomes data. The overall message is that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard gallbladder surgery, with benefits of smaller incisions, less pain and faster recovery compared to open surgery. Careful technique and recognition of anatomy is important to minimize complications.
The document provides information on common emergency room procedures and the nursing responsibilities associated with each. It discusses procedures like laceration repair, splinting, intraosseous access, abscess drainage, lumbar puncture, chest tubes, NG/OG tubes, intubation, foley catheter placement, paracentesis, and nasal packing. For each procedure, it outlines the nursing responsibilities which include obtaining consent, preparing equipment, assisting physicians, monitoring vital signs, providing education and aftercare, and documenting. The overall document serves as a guide for nurses on their roles and responsibilities when assisting with various emergency room procedures.
ANAESTHESIA AND ANALGESIA IN CLASSIC BLADDER EXSTROPHY REPAIR.pptxDrVANDANA17
This document presents a case report of anaesthetic implications in classic bladder exstrophy repair in a 4-month-old male pediatric patient. Key considerations included long operating times of 5-7 hours, unpredictable bleeding and fluid shifts requiring close monitoring, and providing adequate postoperative pain management. An epidural catheter was carefully placed and intermittent doses of bupivacaine with fentanyl were administered intraoperatively and postoperatively for 3 days to provide excellent pain control while minimizing sedation. The 8-hour surgery was successful and the patient recovered well with normal follow-ups. Epidural analgesia provides safe and effective pain management for such complex pediatric bladder exstrophy repairs when administered carefully.
This document discusses fast-track cardiac surgery protocols. It begins by defining fast-track surgery as rapidly progressing a patient from preoperative preparation through surgery and discharge from the hospital. It then mentions that fast-tracking requires a coordinated team approach. Several studies are referenced that show fast-tracking leads to shorter ICU and hospital stays without increasing complications when used for appropriately selected low-risk patients. Key elements of fast-tracking include enhanced patient education, same-day admissions, early extubation and mobilization, aggressive pulmonary care, and early discharge. Extubation in the operating room rather than ICU is associated with lower reintubation rates. The document concludes that fast-tracking cardiac surgery is safe and effective for reducing costs when applied to
This document provides guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of diverticulitis and diverticular disease. It discusses classifications of diverticulitis severity including the Hinchey and Ambrosetti classifications. CT scan is the primary diagnostic tool. It recommends antibiotics only for complicated cases and considers outpatient treatment for uncomplicated diverticulitis. For abscesses it recommends percutaneous drainage or antibiotics. It provides guidance on elective resection and discusses primary anastomosis versus Hartmann's procedure.
Management of ureteric injuries requires prompt diagnosis and repair to minimize complications. Ureteric injuries are most commonly caused by iatrogenic factors during surgeries near the ureters like hysterectomy. Diagnosis involves imaging like CT scans to detect contrast extravasation or hydronephrosis. Treatment depends on hemodynamic stability, with stable patients undergoing immediate primary repair and unstable patients getting temporary drainage first. Special circumstances like delayed diagnosis, endoscopic injuries, or fistulas may require additional measures like stenting. Surgical repairs aim to bridge defects with tension-free, spatulated anastomoses and stents to promote healing. Follow-up involves imaging and renal function tests to ensure patency.
1) Day case anesthesia, also known as ambulatory surgery or same-day surgery, allows patients to be admitted for a surgical procedure and investigation but return home the same day without an overnight hospital stay.
2) There has been a rapid expansion in the use of day case surgery over the last 30 years, with approximately 65% of surgeries in the United States now performed on an outpatient basis.
3) Day case anesthesia provides advantages like reduced costs, increased bed availability, and less risk of hospital-acquired infections compared to traditional inpatient surgery.

8. Do we need to measure urine output?
Low urinary output during and immediately after
major surgery is to be expected and so, in
isolation, this measure may not always be
helpful.
9. Case scenario no. 1
• 53 years old woman
• Diagnosis: endometryal cancer
• Surgery: abdominal hysterectomy
• Anesthesia: general anesthesia with
desflurane
10. Case scenario no. 1
• During 1st hour of anesthesia
– urine output = 100 ml
• Switch to Trendelenburg position
– urine output = 0 ml in the next hour
WHY?
11. Answers
• Increased central venous pressure ?
• Hypovolemia ?
• Increased antidiuretic hormone production
due to intense surgical stimuli ?
• Pooling of urine into dome of the bladder?
12. Case scenario no. 2
• A 75 year old gentleman was brought to the
recovery room after a general anesthesia of
about 1.5 hours duration.
• On arrival:
– agitated and not answering questions appropriately.
– high blood pressure
– heart rate was low (40 b/ min).
• He was assumed to be in pain given his agitation,
but didn't improve much after opioid medication.
13. Case scenario no. 2
• He started to have some irregular heart beats
• He was sweating
14. Case scenario no. 2
What if you previously know that:
• He had not emptied his bladder before
surgery
• He has a history of prostate enlargement
• He received over a liter of IV fluids in the OR?
15. Case scenario no. 2
• His bladder was emptied with a urinary catheter.
• Almost immediately:
– heart rate = 68.
– blood pressure corrected
– agitation disappeared.
• After a short nap, he “woke up” and was feeling
"just fine" with no recollection of having the
catheter placed.
• He had no further issues and was discharged to
ward
16. Urinary Bladder Retention after
Anesthesia?
In recovery rooms all over the country....
"You can't go home until you pee."
17. POTENTIAL RISK FACTORS FOR
POSTOPERATIVE URINARY RETENTION
• age > 50
• male gender (preexisting enlarged prostate)
• prolonged surgery / anesthesia time
• pelvic surgery or hernia repair surgery
• increased administration of IV fluid (over-
stretching the bladder makes it harder to empty
after general anesthesia)
• medications during / after surgery (beta-blockers,
opioids etc.).
18. POSTOPERATIVE URINARY RETENTION
• Bladder retention after general anesthesia
– one of the most common side effects
– true incidence is hard to pinpoint
– It is a problem for a significant number of people.
• Minor issues with delayed bladder emptying -
up to 70% of patients in immediate postop
period.
• Significant bladder retention problems – 1-
20% of patients after general anesthesia.
19. Potential complications related to
bladder retention
• More than just an annoyance
• Urinary tract infections
– overfull bladder will be incompletely emptied =
risk factor for infection
– if a catheter has to be used = risk factor for
infection
• Longer-term issues with bladder emptying
– evidences that having an over-distended bladder
can cause difficulty in emptying the bladder even
after leaving the hospital.
20. Potential complications related to
bladder retention
• A stretched bladder signals the nerves of the
parasympathetic nervous system:
– slowed or irregular heartbeat
– low or high blood pressure
– nausea/vomiting
– cardiac arrest
23. Appropriate Urinary Catheter Use
• Insert catheters only for appropriate indications, and leave
in place only as long as needed. (Category IB)
– Minimize urinary catheter use and duration of use in all
patients, particularly those at higher risk for CAUTI or mortality
from catheterization such as women, the elderly, and patients
with impaired immunity.(Category IB)
– Use urinary catheters in operative patients only as necessary,
rather than routinely. (Category IB)
– For operative patients who have an indication for an indwelling
catheter, remove the catheter as soon as possible
postoperatively, preferably within 24 hours, unless there are
appropriate indications for continued use. (Category IB)
Gould CV, et al. Center for Disease Control Guideline for Prevention of Catheter-
Associated Urinary Tract Infections 2009
24. Appropriate Indications for Indwelling
Urethral Catheter Use
• Perioperative use for selected surgical procedures:
– patients undergoing urologic surgery or other surgery
on contiguous structures of the genitourinary tract
– anticipated prolonged duration of surgery(>3 hours)
(such catheters should be removed in PACU)
– patients anticipated to receive large-volume infusions
or diuretics during surgery
– need for intraoperative monitoring of urinary output
Gould CV, et al. Center for Disease Control Guideline for Prevention of Catheter-
Associated Urinary Tract Infections 2009
25. Appropriate Indications for Indwelling
Urethral Catheter Use
• Patient with acute urinary retention or bladder outlet
obstruction
• Need for accurate measurements of urinary output in
critically ill patients
• To assist in healing of open sacral or perineal wounds
in incontinent patients
• Patient requires prolonged immobilization (e.g. pelvic
fractures)
• To improve comfort for end of life care if needed
Gould CV, et al. Center for Disease Control Guideline for Prevention of Catheter-
Associated Urinary Tract Infections 2009
26. Inappropriate Use of Indwelling
Catheters
• As a substitute for nursing care of patients with
incontinence
• For obtaining urine for culture or other diagnostic
tests when the patient can voluntarily void
• For prolonged postoperative duration without
appropriate indications (e.g., structural repair of
urethra or contiguous structures, prolonged
effect of epidural anaesthesia etc.)
Gould CV, et al. Center for Disease Control Guideline for Prevention of Catheter-
Associated Urinary Tract Infections 2009
27. Appropriate Indwelling Urethral
Catheter Use
• Proper Techniques for Urinary Catheter
Insertion
• Proper Techniques for Urinary Catheter
Maintenance
• If intermittent catheterization is used, perform
it at regular intervals to prevent bladder
overdistension.
Gould CV, et al. Center for Disease Control Guideline for Prevention of Catheter-
Associated Urinary Tract Infections 2009
28. Appropriate Indwelling Urethral
Catheter Use
• Consider using the smallest bore catheter
possible, consistent with good drainage, to
minimize bladder neck and urethral trauma.
(Category II)
• Consider using a portable ultrasound device to
assess urine volume in patients undergoing
intermittent catheterization to assess urine
volume and reduce unnecessary catheter
insertions. (Category II)
Gould CV, et al. Center for Disease Control Guideline for Prevention of Catheter-
Associated Urinary Tract Infections 2009
29. Appropriate Indwelling Urethral
Catheter Use
• Maintain unobstructed urine flow. (Category
IB)
• Keep the catheter and collecting tube free
from kinking. (Category IB)
• Keep the collecting bag below the level of the
bladder at all times
• Do not rest the bag on the floor. (Category IB)

Associated Urinary Tract Infections 2009
30. Assessment of common practice in
perioperative services
1. Do you insert an indwelling catheter for a specific
procedures performed by a particular surgeon?
2. Do you assess patients to determine if the insertion an
indwelling catheter is medically indicated?
3. Do you evaluate the need to keep the catheter in place at
the end of the surgical procedure before transporting the
patient to the post anesthesia care unit (PACU)?
4. Do you date and time when the catheter was inserted?

United States: a national study. Clinical Infectious Diseases. 2008; 46(2):243-
250.
31. Inappropriately placed catheters are more often
forgotten about1
In 56% of hospitals there is no system to keep track
of which patients have catheters, and 74% of
hospitals do not keep track of how long the
catheter is in place2

32. Complications related to urinary
catheterization
• Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection
(CAUTI) > 40% of all hospital-acquired infections
(HAI) (most frequent HAI)
• Urethral Injury
• Bacteriuria
• Sepsis
• Difficulty in urinating after catheter removal
• Narrowing of the urethra
• Bladder injury
• Bladder stones
33. Inappropriate use of urinary
catheterization
• One in four patients receives an indwelling
urinary catheter at some point during their
hospital stay
• Up to 86% of patients undergoing surgery have
urinary catheters
• 50% of these catheters remain in place for more
than two days
Wald HL, et al. Indwelling urinary catheter use in the postoperative period: analysis of the national
surgical infection prevention project data. Arch Surg. 2008;143:551-557
34. Why is there no informed consent for
urinary catheters?
• No informed consent is required for urinary
catheterization.
• Many people feel that urinary catheterizations
are an invasion of their bodily privacy even if
they are done by a nurse or doctor of the
same gender especially when they are not
really necessary.
35. Different types of anesthesia and
effects on bladder functions
• Local Anesthesia – no effect on bladder function
• General Anesthesia
– in short surgeries that are not longer than 3 hours, there is usually no effect on
the bladder.
– bladder will become distended in longer cases and the patient could become
incontinent over time.
• Regional Anesthesia
– Patients lose the sensation to void about 1 minute after being injected with
spinal anesthesia, but will continue to feel dull pressure as the bladder reaches
full capacity
– the ability to contract the detrusor muscle is lost 2 to 5 minutes following the
injection of local anesthetics and still persists even after bladder sensation is
fully recovered.
– Spinal anesthesia with long-acting local anesthetic contributes more to Post
Operative Urinary Retention than spinal anesthesia with short-acting local
anesthetic
• Any bladder issues after surgery are most likely due to narcotics used for
pain control.
36. Take home messages
• Too many catheters are inserted and catheters
stay in too long!
• Avoid large intravenous volumes of crystalloid
administered intraoperative to restore blood
pressure in the absence of surgical
hemorrhage!
• Use urinary catheterization only in selected
patients!
• Remove urinary catheters as soon as possible!
