– Not, NO ACTIVITY!
– Recommend that they decrease their activities to the point where pain is
improved and then begin adding back in activity as it is tolerated.
– Cross training may help (ex, swimming)
• Ice
– I usually tell them to pretend like they are Michael Jordan and need to ice down
their knees.
– Good trick is to fill small paper cups with water and freeze them. Then they can
peel the paper and then use that to apply directly over the tibial tubercle.
• NSAIDs
• Physical Therapy

12. Hartmann’s Procedure a type of colectomy that removes part of the colon and sometimes rectum
(proctosigmoidectomy).
13. Quenu-Miles procedure = Abdominoperineal Resection. P.1189
An abdominoperineal resection (APR) involves removal of the entire rectum, anal canal, and
anus with construction of a permanent colostomy from the descending or sigmoid colon.

Fistula In Ano
is a tunnel that develops between the inside of the anus and the outside skin around the anus.
Ahmad Salh Soboh
Anal fissure P.1225
A fissure in ano is a tear in the anoderm distal to the dentate line. The pathophysiology of anal
fissure is thought to be related to trauma from either the passage of hard stool or prolonged
diarrhea. A tear in the anoderm causes spasm of the internal anal sphincter, which results in
pain, increased tearing, and decreased blood supply to the anoderm. This cycle of pain, spasm,
and ischemia contributes to development of a poorly healing wound that becomes a chronic
fissure. The vast majority of anal fissures occur in the posterior midline. Ten percent to 15%
occur in the anterior midline. Less than 1% of fissures occur off midline.

Symptoms and Findings. Anal fissure is extremely common. Characteristic symptoms include
tearing pain with defecation and hematochezia (usually described as blood on the toilet paper).
Patients may also complain of a sensation of intense and painful anal spasm lasting for several
hours after a bowel movement.

Hernia:

Direct hernia (different between direct and indirect)


Ingunal femoral hernia

Groin hernia =
Direct inguinal -indirect-femoral

Hernia treatment types:


Treatment :
Herniotomy = opening the transversalis fascia -hernia sac isolation -cremastric division
Herniorrhaphy = marcy repair and mc vay cooper ligament repair -bassini repair
Hernioplasty = plug and patch repair - tension free repair
Laparoscopic = TAPP and TEP

Diaphragmatic Herniation
•Type I – Sliding
–Herniation of Cardia
•Type II – Rolling (paraesophageal)
–Herniation of Fundus
•Type III – Combined
(paraesophageal)
– Herniation of both
•Type IV
–Herniation of additional organ
(colon mostly)

Bassini repair:
The Bassini repair was an historic advancement in operative technique. Its current use is
limited, as modern techniques reduce recurrence. The original repair includes dissection of the
spermatic cord, dissection of the hernia sac with high ligation, and extensive reconstruction of
the floor of the inguinal canal. After exposing the inguinal floor, the transversalis fascia is
incised from the pubic tubercle to the internal inguinal ring. Preperitoneal fat is bluntly
dissected from the upper margin of the posterior side of the transversalis fascia to permit
adequate tissue mobilization. A triple-layer repair is then performed. The internal oblique,
transversus abdominis, and transversalis fascia are fixed to the shelving edge of the inguinal
ligament and pubic periosteum with interrupted sutures. The lateral aspect of the repair
reinforces the medial border of the internal inguinal ring.

The technique involves suturing the transversalis fascia and conjoint tendon to the inguinal
ligament behind the spermatic cord, and is frequently coupled with a Tanner slide (vertical
relaxing incision in the anterior rectus sheath) in order to prevent tension.

Shouldice Repair
The Shouldice repair recapitulates principles of the Bassini repair, and its distribution of tension
over several tissue layers results in lower recurrence rates. During dissection of the cord, the
genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve is routinely divided, resulting in ipsilateral loss of
sensation to the scrotum in men or the mons pubis and labium majus in women. With the
Ahmad Salh Soboh
posterior inguinal floor exposed, an incision in the transversalis fascia is made between the
pubic tubercle and internal ring. Care is taken to avoid injury to preperitoneal structures, which
are bluntly dissected to mobilize the upper and lower fascial flaps. At the pubic tubercle, the
iliopubic tract is sutured to the lateral edge of the rectus sheath using a synthetic,
nonabsorbable, monofilament suture. This continuous suture progresses laterally,
approximating the edge of the inferior transversalis flap to the posterior aspect of the superior
flap. At the internal inguinal ring, the suture continues back in the medial direction,
approximating the edge of the superior transversalis fascia flap to the shelving edge of the
inguinal ligament. At the pubic tubercle, this suture is tied to the tail of the original stitch. The
next suture begins at the internal inguinal ring, and it continues medially, apposing the
aponeuroses of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis to the external oblique
aponeurotic fibers. At the pubic tubercle, the suture doubles back through the same structures
laterally toward the tightened internal ring.

Esophagus Disorders:
Achalasia:
Symptoms:
• Dysphagia for both solids and liquids.
• Regurgitation of food.

DIAGNOSIS:
• Chest x-ray (CXR)
• Barium swallow will reveal the characteristic distal bird’s beak sign

Treatment:
Medical management:
→Drugs that relax the LES—nitrates, calciumchannel blockers, and antispasmodics

  Surgical management:
• Esophagomyotomy (Heller’s myotomy) with or without fundoplication is the treatment
of choice for achalasia.
→ Fundoplication surgery wraps the upper stomach around the lower esophagus.
• Endoscopic dilatation: Has a lower success rate and a higher complication rate. It
involves inserting a balloon or progressively larger-sized dilators through the narrowed
lumen, which causes tearing of the esophageal smooth muscle and decreases the
competency of the LES.

Zenker’s Diverticulum
Symptoms:
• Dysphagia
• Halitosis
• Choking
• Weight loss

DIAGNOSIS:
→ A BARIUM SWALLOW will reveal the presence of all types of diverticula.
#Endoscopy is difficult and potentially dangerous due to the risk of perforation
through the diverticulum.

Treatment:
• Cervical pharyngocricoesophageal myotomy (incising the cricopharyngeus) and is done
in all cases needing operative intervention.
• Diverticulopexy (suturing the diverticulum in the inverted position to the prevertebral
fascia) is added to myotomy for larger diverticula.
• Diverticulectomy (endoscopic stapling of the diverticulum), along with myotomy, is
performed for the largest diverticulae.

GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GERD)
Symptoms:
Heartburn
nausea, vomiting
hoarseness.

Mallory-Weiss Syndrome
It is massive upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by a tear through the mucosa of the
distal esophagus or gastroesophageal junction.

Symptoms:
Hematemesis

DIAGNOSIS:
Upper endoscopy is diagnostic.

Treatment:
• Endoscopic injection of epinephrine may be therapeutic if bleeding does not stop
spontaneously.
• Only occasionally will surgery be required to stop blood loss. The procedure consists of
laparotomy and high gastrotomy with oversewing of the linear tear.

→ Second most frequent islet cell tumor

Symptoms:
• Signs of peptic ulcer disease (especially in patients with recurrent or unusually located
ulcers).
•   Epigastric pain most prominent after eating.
•   Profuse watery diarrhea.

Diagnosis:
• Fasting serum gastrin level > 500 pg/mL
