Intestinal stomas
- Intestinal stomas are surgically created openings of the small or large intestine onto the abdominal wall. There are three main types: colostomy, ileostomy, and loop stoma.
- Complications include prolapse, herniation, stenosis, dermatitis from effluent, and obstruction. Dietary advice focuses on reducing gas, bulk and odorous foods. Management involves properly attaching collection bags and monitoring for complications.
Presentation 8 digestive system terms
The document discusses several medical procedures and conditions:
Colonoscopy involves using a camera to examine the colon for issues like polyps. Risks are low but include perforation. Screening is recommended starting at age 50.
Cholelithiasis refers to gallstones, which are crystalline formations in the gallbladder. Symptoms include pain and most are treated through cholecystectomy to remove the gallbladder.
Gastric stapling surgically reduces the size of the stomach to help with weight loss, but risks include infection and nutritional deficiencies. Success rates are low.
Hernioplasty repairs hernias by surgically pushing bulging tissue back with mesh. Complications can include rejection of mesh material
Surgical COnsiderations of Ostomy Creation
An 87-year-old female presented with abdominal pain, distention and constipation. Imaging showed a perforated sigmoid colon requiring a sigmoidectomy and Hartmann's procedure. Pathology found sigmoid diverticulitis. She was discharged but readmitted 2.5 months later for elective colostomy closure. Guidelines were presented on ostomy creation and closure techniques to reduce complications like hernias. Evidence supports laparoscopic and loop ileostomy approaches when possible. Proper stoma construction and postoperative care can prevent issues like dehydration that lead to readmission.
Duodenal injuries
This document summarizes key information about duodenal injuries:
- The duodenum is 12 inches long and located retroperitoneally behind the liver and pancreas. It has four parts and is vulnerable to trauma due to its location and proximity to other abdominal organs.
- Duodenal injuries can be from penetrating or blunt trauma. Diagnosis involves imaging like CT scans and upper GI series. Management principles involve restoring intestinal continuity, decompressing the duodenum, providing drainage, and nutritional support.
- Treatment options depend on the severity of injury and include primary repair, diversion procedures like gastrojejunostomy, or pancreaticoduodenectomy for severe injuries involving other structures. Complications can include
Colostomy
A colostomy is a surgical procedure where a portion of the large intestine is brought through the abdominal wall to carry stool out of the body. It may be permanent or temporary and is often performed to treat disorders of the large intestine like cancer or injury. There are four main types of colostomies named after the portion of the large intestine where the stoma is located. Aftercare for a colostomy involves monitoring the surgical site, using a colostomy pouching system, and gradually resuming a regular diet while avoiding certain gassy or odorous foods.

Acute epiploeic appendagitis.pptx2
The document summarizes the CT findings of acute epiploic appendagitis. Key findings include a focal fatty central core abutting the colon wall, surrounded by inflammatory changes. There is typically a narrow base to the lesion compared to its width. CT is the primary way to diagnose this uncommon cause of abdominal pain, which can mimic other conditions like diverticulitis based on symptoms alone. Recognition of the characteristic CT appearance is important to avoid unnecessary surgery.
Hernia1 2007
There are four types of hiatal hernias. A paraesophageal hiatal hernia (Type II) occurs when part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest. Complications can include bleeding, incarceration, volvulus, obstruction, and perforation. Surgery is the treatment of choice and involves reducing the hernia, resecting the hernia sac, and closing the diaphragmatic defect.

Intestinal obstruction
This document discusses intestinal obstruction, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Mechanical obstruction is caused by lesions or masses that physically block the intestines, while paralytic ileus involves loss of normal bowel motility. Common symptoms are abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation and distension. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exam finding bowel sounds or masses, and imaging tests. Treatment focuses on fluid replacement, decompressing the bowel, and timely surgery to resolve the obstruction if it has not resolved on its own.
Intestinal Obstruction
Intestinal obstruction is commonly seen in neonates and presents with vomiting soon after feeds. Common causes include duodenal atresia, jejunoileal atresia, and meconium ileus. Diagnosis is made through imaging like barium meal X-ray, CT scan, or ultrasound. Management involves correcting fluid and electrolyte imbalances, adequate oxygenation and ventilation, and treating the underlying cause surgically. Anesthetic management differs based on whether it is an upper or lower GI obstruction. For upper GI obstruction, general anesthesia with caudal epidural is preferred to minimize anesthetic use. For lower GI obstruction, invasive monitoring is recommended due to potential cardiovascular instability, and nitrous oxide is avoided
Esophaegeal resection & reconstruction
This document discusses esophageal resection and reconstruction techniques. It covers indications for resection such as carcinoma or injury. Common reconstruction conduits are the stomach, colon, jejunum or combinations. Reconstruction routes include posterior mediastinal, substernal or subcutaneous. Complications can include fistula, stricture or dysfunction. The goal is a viable patient with functional gastrointestinal continuity. Successful reconstruction lasts long, provides nutrition and is done safely with flexibility and a team approach.
Esophageal replacement for esophageal atresia
This study compares two surgical procedures for esophageal replacement in children with esophageal atresia - coloplasty (using the colon) and gastroplasty (using the stomach). The study found that gastroplasty, especially when performed through the posterior mediastinum, has more advantages over coloplasty. Gastroplasty requires only one anastomosis, is less complex, and results in fewer early complications. Children who underwent gastroplasty also showed better long-term adaptation and quality of life compared to those who received coloplasty. The study concludes that gastroplasty through the posterior mediastinum is the preferred technique for esophageal replacement in children.

Pelvic gynecology intervention, complications and significance of teamwork co...
Extensive gynecologic surgery often entails meticulous dissection near the bladder, rectum, ureters, and great vessels of the pelvis. Complications of gynecologic surgery include hemorrhage, infection, thromboembolism, and visceral damage. The risk of complications depends upon the extent and approach to surgery and patient characteristics. Understandably, the more common complications from this surgery relate to injuries to these viscera and occur during extensive resections for the treatment of cancer or when anatomy is distorted due to infection or endometriosis. Injuries to the gastrointestinal components are common during open gynecological surgery. Any delay in diagnosing a bowel perforation can lead to serious fecal peritonitis and even death. If a patient is experiencing pain, tachycardia, and fever following surgery, bowel injury should be suspected, warranting immediate consultation with a general surgeon. Gynecologists routinely operate on patients with risk factors for bowel injury; obesity, endometriosis, multiple abdominal procedures, pelvic inflammatory disease, history of malignancy, and advanced age. A general surgeon is often called, however, for bowel repairs that can be performed by a gynecologist with sufficient training and experience. There are instances, however, in which a general surgical consultation may not be readily available, another reason to master repair of bowel injuries encountered during gynecologic surgery. In conclusion, sufficient training of principles of intestinal surgery, and close collaboration with general surgeons is very important for management of these complications and a successful outcome.
Ventral Hernias.pptx
Ventral hernias occur when abdominal tissue protrudes through weaknesses in the abdominal wall. They can be caused by conditions like chronic coughing, obesity, or prior surgery. Diagnosis involves examination for lumps or pain when coughing as well as imaging tests. Treatment depends on the hernia type but commonly includes surgical repair by pushing intestines back in and reinforcing the abdominal wall with mesh using open, laparoscopic, or robotic techniques.

Certain gastrointestinal disorders like abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, and abdominal abscesses can require emergency surgery. Doctors must quickly determine if surgery is needed to identify and treat the underlying problem. Abdominal abscesses in particular cause pain and other symptoms depending on their location, and are usually diagnosed using imaging tests before being treated by draining pus and antibiotics. Abdominal hernias, which cause bulging but little pain, are also common and usually repaired through elective surgery to prevent potential incarceration or strangulation of intestine tissue.

Ventral hernias are a prevalent issue where the intestines or other tissues protrude through a weak spot or opening in the abdominal wall. These hernias can cause discomfort, pain, and potential complications if left untreated. Let's explore more: https://www.southlakegeneralsurgery.com/ventral-hernia-repair-essential-guide/
Digestive System Procedures
The document discusses various endoscopic procedures including colonoscopy, hernioplasty, and gastric lavage. It provides details on how each procedure is performed, what conditions they are used to treat, and potential risks involved. Choledocholithotripsy is highlighted as a non-surgical alternative to cholecystectomy for treating gallstones using shock waves to shatter stones in the gallbladder.
Hernia.ppt
A hernia is an abnormal hole or weakness in the abdominal wall that allows internal organs or tissues to protrude outside of the body. The most common types are inguinal hernias, which occur in the groin area, and hiatal hernias, which involve part of the stomach protruding into the chest. Hernias can range from harmless to a medical emergency if the blood supply is cut off. Treatment involves surgery to repair the abdominal wall, though some small reducible hernias may only require monitoring.

Pathology Of The Digestive System
The document discusses several conditions related to the digestive system:
1) Diverticulosis is a condition where pouches called diverticula bulge out from weak spots in the colon wall, usually occurring where the colon joins the rectum. It becomes diverticulitis if the pouches become infected or rupture.
2) A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This can cause acid reflux symptoms.
3) Peptic ulcers develop as sores or holes in the lining of the stomach, esophagus, or duodenum due to acidic digestive juices. Major causes are H. pylori bacteria infection and long
ventral hernias
This document discusses various types of ventral hernias. It defines ventral hernias as hernias that occur in the abdominal wall. It then provides details on the anatomy of the abdominal wall and the pathophysiology of hernia formation. Several specific types of ventral hernias are described including epigastric, umbilical, incisional, lumbar, and parastomal hernias. For each type, the document outlines characteristics, clinical presentation, complications, and treatment approaches. Surgical repair is generally recommended, and mesh placement is often used to reinforce repairs.
Case study on inguinal hernia
This is a case study done by me as a part of my in-service education progamme in my institution...hope this may help all nurses who wants to do a case study.
Hiatal hernia
The document discusses the anatomy of the esophageal hiatus and types of hiatal hernia. It describes four types of hiatal hernia, with type I being the most common sliding hernia associated with GERD. Surgical options for repair include laparoscopic and open approaches, with the goals being to relieve symptoms and prevent complications by reducing reflux and returning the GE junction below the diaphragm. Post-operative care involves a progressive diet and activity plan, with most patients finding symptom relief but recurrence rates remaining between 20-40% even at large centers.
Lower Gi
1. Imperforate anus is a birth defect where the rectum is not connected to the anus. It requires surgery to create an opening for stool passage.
2. Surgery for high or intermediate cases first creates a temporary colostomy. After months of growth, a more complex procedure connects the rectum to the new anus.
3. Necrotizing enterocolitis is a disease that affects premature infants, causing parts of the intestine to die. It requires stopping feeds, antibiotics, and may necessitate surgery to remove dead sections of bowel.

EUR毕业证offer【微信95270640】《鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学毕业证书原版制作EUR成绩单》【Q微信95270640】《仿制EUR毕业证成绩单鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学学位证书pdf电子图》，A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。

Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptx
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

Understanding Umbilical Hernias and Options for Repair Surgery
- 1. Understanding Umbilical Hernias and Options for Repair Surgery Davis Surgical Associates 1580 West Antelope Drive Suite 130, Layton, Utah 84041 (801) 728-9555
- 2. An umbilical hernia is a protrusion close to the navel or belly button, which contains a sac that holds some fluid, fats or the intestine. The concern is, it might protrude via a weak spot or opening in the muscles of the stomach. Some patients have had this protrusion since birth, when the muscles surrounding their umbilical cord failed to close off properly. Research shows that women who have given birth multiple times, individuals who’ve had stomach surgery, and overweight individuals are predisposed to umbilical hernias. Umbilical Hernia Repair Options Note that a hernia, regardless of the type, won’t heal by itself. Repairing an umbilical hernia could eliminate the protrusion and alleviate discomfort and pain. According to MedLine Plus, the most common signs of umbilical hernia includes pain in the navel, affecting 44% of patients, significant pressure in the navel, affecting 20% of patients, and vomiting and nausea, affecting 9% of patients with umbilical hernias.
- 3. Commonly, patients could choose from two hernia repair options, provided that the repair option is appropriate for their specific circumstances. One is open surgery, wherein repair is conducted via an incision in the navel. The other option is laparoscopic surgery or laparoscopy, wherein repair is performed via several tiny incisions in the abdomen with the help of a laparoscope. Doctors usually recommend hernia repair surgery if the following is true: A significantly large umbilical hernia Presence of bothersome symptoms On the other hand, surgery must be done immediately if there’s significant pain and/or swelling, as well as other symptoms of a rare but severe condition referred to as incarcerated hernia or strangulation, which could arise when intestines become stuck in the hernia sac, resulting in reduced blood supply.
- 4. Other Vital Things to Note Plenty of patients could delay repair surgery for several months or years, while some may never have to undergo surgery. For smaller and symptom-free hernias in general, doctors advise patients to wait if symptoms appear since some umbilical hernias are more inclined to grow larger as the belly’s muscle wall weaken, resulting in more tissue protruding through. While there is always the risk of the hernia reappearing after surgery, the risk is extremely low for generally healthy patients.
