Clinical manifestation
๏‚ข The most common symptom is midepigastric abdominal
pain.
๏‚ข The pain is generally tolerable
๏‚ข Frequently relieved by food.
๏‚ข The pain may be episodic, worse during periods of
emotional stress.
๏‚ข Many patients do not seek medical attention.
๏‚ข Constant pain - deeper ulcer penetration. Referral of
๏‚ข Pain to the back - penetration into the pancreas.

Diagnosing ZES
๏‚ข Secretin-stimulated gastrin level
๏ฌ Serum gastrin samples are measured
before and after IV secretin (2 U/kg)
administration at 5-minute intervals for
30 minutes.
๏ฌ An increase in the serum gastrin level
of greater than 200 pg/mL is specific
for gastrinoma.
Diagnosing
๏‚ข Localize the gastrinoma is either CT or MRI of
the abdomen.
๏‚ข However, these imaging modalities have a
relatively low sensitivity in detecting tumors
that are less than 1 cm in diameter as well as
small liver metastases.
๏‚ข Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy uses
radionucleotide labeled octreotide, which binds
to the ZES tumor cells and can detect hepatic
metastases in 85% to 95% of patients
Treatment
๏‚ข Resection of tumor
๏‚ข Patients with tumor recurrence or
metastatic disease are treated with
chemotherapy (streptozotocin with 5-
fluorouracil or doxorubicin or both).

REVIEW
QUESTIONS
Question #1
๏‚ข The consistently largest artery to the
stomach is the
๏‚ข A. Right gastric
๏‚ข B. Left gastric
๏‚ข C. Right gastroepiploic
๏‚ข D. Left gastroepiploic
Answer
๏‚ข Answer: B
๏‚ข The consistently largest artery to the
stomach is the left gastric artery,
which usually arises directly rom the
celiac trunk and divides into an
ascending and descending branch
along the lesser gastric curvature
Question #2
๏‚ข Which of the following inhibits gastrin
secretion?
๏‚ข A. Histamine
๏‚ข B. Acetylcholine
๏‚ข C. Amino acids
๏‚ข D. Acid
๏‚ข Answer: D
๏‚ข Luminal peptides and amino acids are
the most potent stimulants o gastrin
release, and luminal acid is the most
potent inhibitor of gastrin secretion.
Question #3
๏‚ข Helicobacter pylori infection primarily
mediates duodenal ulcer pathogenesis via
๏‚ข A. Antral alkalinization leading to inhibition of
somatostatin release
๏‚ข B. Direct stimulation of gastrin release
๏‚ข C. Local infammation with autoimmune
response
๏‚ข D. Upregulation of parietal cell acid production
๏‚ข Answer: A
๏‚ข Helicobacter pylori possess the
enzyme urease, which converts urea
into ammonia and bicarbonate, thus
creating an environment around the
bacteria that buffers the acid secreted
by the stomach. H. pylori infection is
associated with decreased levels of
somatostatin,
Production of toxin
(urease)
Local mucosal
immune response
Gastrin increased
Acid secretion
D cell reduction
Gastric metaplasia
Question #4
Which of the following is the preoperative
imaging study of choice for gastrinoma?
๏‚ข A. CT scan
๏‚ข B. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
๏‚ข C. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
๏‚ข D. Angiographic localization
๏‚ข E. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy
๏‚ข Answer: E
๏‚ข Currently, the preoperative imaging
study of choice for gastrinoma is
somatostatin-receptor scintigraphy
(the octreotide scan). When the
pretest probability of gastrinoma is
high, the sensitivity and specificity o
this modality approach 100%

Editor's Notes

  • #5ย The stomach is bounded superiorly by the diaphragm and laterally by the spleen. The body also contains most of the parietal cells and is bounded on the right by the relatively straight lesser curvature and on the left by the longer greater curvature. At the angularis incisura, the lesser curvature abruptly angles to the right. The body of the stomach ends here and the antrum begins. Another important anatomic angle (angle of His) is the angle formed by the fundus with the left margin of the Esophagus. The gastrosplenic ligament attaches the proximal greater curvature to the spleen.
  • #9ย The left vagus gives off the hepatic branch to the liver and continues along the lesser curvature as the anterior nerve of Latarjet. Although not shown, the so-called criminal nerve of Grassi is the first branch of the right or posterior vagus nerve; it is recognized as a potential cause of recurrent ulcers when left undivided. The right nerve gives a branch off to the celiac plexus and continues posteriorly along the lesser curvature. A truncal vagotomy is performed above the celiac and hepatic branches of the vagi, whereas a selective vagotomy is performed below.
  • #14ย Prostaglandins promote gastric and duodenal mucosal protection via numerous mechanisms, including increasing mucin and bicarbonate secretion and increasing blood flow to the mucosal endothelium. The presence of NSAIDs disrupts these naturally protective mechanisms, increasing the risk of peptic ulcer formation in the stomach and the duodenum.
  • #24ย Antacid โ€“ oldest form of therapy โ€“ reduce gastric acdity More effective when ingested 1 hour after a meal Sucralfate โ€“ structurally related to heparin /no anticoagulant effect/ Exact mechanism is not fully understood Provide protective coating not initial treatment H2RI โ€“ Famotidine is the most potent
  • #30ย Perforations smaller than 1 cm can generally be closed primarily and buttressed with a wellvascularized omentum. For larger perforations or ulcers with fibrotic edges that cannot be brought together without tension, a Graham patch repair with a tongue of healthy omentum is performed. Multiple stay sutures are placed that incorporate a bite of healthy tissue on the proximal and the distal side of the ulcer. The omentum is placed underneath these sutures, and they are tied to secure it in place and seal the perforation (Fig. 48-11). For very large perforations (>3 cm), control of the duodenal defect can be difficult. The defect should be closed by the application of healthy tissue, such as omentum or jejunal serosa from a Rouxen- Y type limb. In such cases, a pyloric exclusion is typically performed by oversewing the pylorus using absorbable suture or stapling across it using a noncutting linear stapler. A gastrojejunostomy is created to bypass the duodenum in a Billroth II or Roux-en-Y fashion.
  • #31ย Graham patch repair of a perforated duodenal ulcer. A โ€œtongueโ€ of omentum is brought up to cover the ulcer defect and secured in position with a series of interrupted sutures. I
  • #36ย Classic truncal vagotomy, in combination with a Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty, is shown in Figure 48-12. When the duodenal bulb is scarred, a Finney pyloroplasty or Jaboulay gastroduodenostomy may be a useful alternative. In general, there is little difference in the side effects associated with the type of drainage procedure performed, although bile reflux may be more common after gastroenterostomy, and diarrhea is more common after pyloroplasty.
  • #38ย Usually in gastric ulcer Vagotomy โ€“ eliminates cephalic phase Antrectomy โ€“ eliminates gastric phase
  • #53ย Answer: B he consistently largest artery to the stomach is the le t gastric artery, which usually arises directly rom the celiac trunk and divides into an ascending and descending branch along the lesser gastric curvature. Approximately 20% o the time, the le t gastric artery supplies an aberrant vessel that travels in the gastrohepatic ligament (lesser omentum) to the le t side o the liver. Rarely, this is the only arterial blood supply to this part o the liver, and inadvertent ligation may lead to clinically signi icant hepatic ischemia in this unusual circumstance. (See Schwartz 10th ed., p. 1037.)
