Q

How does obesity and type 2 Diabetes cause CRC

A

Cause early onset CRC age <50
Hyperinsulinemia causes Inc in IGF-1
Which inhibits colorectal epithelial cell apoptosis and promotes neoplastic progression.

Obesity also causes increased exp of Inflammatory Cytokines TNF-alpha
Which promotes dev of CRC.

DX of acute diverticulitis

A

CT scan abdomen(oral or IV contrast)
Shows Focal bowel wall thickening and inf signs (stranding) in pericolonic fat.
May also show abscess or phelgmon(inf tissue mass)

Colonoscopy is done 6-8w later to rule out CA (which can be a RF to Acute diverticulitis)
Inc risk of perforation if done in acute phase.

Q

Management of appendicitis

A

Modified alvarado score >-4
⬇️
Pt is child or pregnant FM do USG or MRI

Otherwise do CTscan
⬇️
🔼Normal appendix. Check for other causes

🔼Non visualized appendix Management depends on specific alvarado score

🔼Non perforated appendicitis
AB plus surgery <-12hrs

🔼Perforated appendix
AB plus bowel rest
Do PCD for contained abscess
I &D with appendectomy for diffuse contamination

21
Q

Perianal abscess CF and RF

A

Fluctuant mass/ swelling with erythema
Severe constant pain
Fever
Gradual onset
Pruritis
Pain with defecation

RF : constipation
Anoreceptive intercorse

22
Q

Cause of perianal abscess

A

Due to Occlusion of Anal Crypt Gland which allows bacterial overgrowth
Abscess forms quickly due to high levels of bacteria in the area.

23
Q

Ttt and complications

A

Anorectal fistula
Intersphinteric abscess
Anal sepsis

Ttt : I & D

24
Q

Thrombosed external hemorrhoid cause

A

Hemorrhoids are abnormal dilations of hemorrhoidal venous plexus and categorized in relation to dentate line as internal (proximal) or external (distal)

Thrombosis occurs in external hemorrhoid and manifests as excruciating anorectal pain exacerbated by sitting.

Dx. Anoscopy

25
Q

RF for hemorrhoids

A

⏹Constipation
⏹Abnormal defecation (straining , prolonged sitting on toilet)
⏹Increasing age
⏹Pregnancy.

26
Q

Ttt of hemorroids

A

Sitz bath
Stool softeners
Topical anesthetics
Refractory: surgery

27
Q

Hemorrhoids vs abcess

A

Thrombosed hemorrhoids have more acute presentation
While perianal abscess has fever with swelling and induration on overlying skin. Or purulent fecal drainage.
Abscess is related to corhns

28
Q

Classification of internal hemorrhoids

A

Grade 1:
No proplapse , only prominent vasculature

Grade 2:
Prolapsed tissue only with straining and reduces spontaneously

Grade 3:
Prolapsed beyond dentate line that can be reduced manually

Grade 4 :
Prolapsed tissue not reduced manually

29
Q

Duodenal hematoma mechanism

A

Children have less protective abdominal walls (thin musculature and less adipose ) and are therefore more prone

Compression of duodenum against vertebral column during BAT

Blood vessels between submucosa and muscularis layers cause bleeding and hematoma formation

As hematoma progressively expands over 24-48hrs partial or complete obstruction of duodenal lumen develops.

Patients have delayed presentation.

30
Q

SS of duodenal hematoma

A

Epigastric pain
Bilious emesis
Xray : gastric dilation with scant distal gas

31
Q

DH dx and ttt

A

Dx : CT is diagnostic

Ttt:
NG decompression
Bowel rest
Parenteral nutrition
Majority resolve with non operative ttt
PCD or surgery for DHs that persist beyond few weeks

32
Q

Aspects of duodenal anatomy that increase risk for perforation

A

Location anterior to vertrbral coulmn

Multiple attachments
(Ligamnet of treitz , hepatoduodenal lig)
Leading to tearing at fixed points rather than stretching.

33
Q

SS of duodenal perforation

A

Fever
Diffuse abd pain
Flank pain(retroperitoneal inflammation)
Retroperitoneal free air on XRay

Ttt: surgery

34
Q

Retroperitoneal organs

A

SAD PUCKER

35
Q

Cause of anorectal fistula

A

Perianal abscess
Crohn dx
Malignancy , radiation proctitis
Infection (lymphgranuloma venereum)

36
Q

CF of anorectal fistula

A

Perianal pain , discharge
Inflmmatory papule /pustule
Palpable fistula tract

37
Q

Ttt of anorectal fistula

A

🚾Assess extent of fistula
Gentle probe
Imaging (endosonography, fistulogram, MRI )

🏧Surgery (fistulotomy)
The entirety of fistula must be addrrssed as residual fistula tracts lead to persistent symptoms and fecal incontinence.

38
Q

Cause of anorectal fistula

A

Most often due to rupture of perianal abscess with formation of residual sinus tract.

39
Q

GI perforation after BAT

A

Acute
Or
Delayed

Delayed perforation cause:

🅿️Bowel contusion: progresses to full thickness injury

🅿️Injured mesenteric hematoma :
Progresses to ischemia and necrosis

Ttt : observation due to risk of progression to perforation (presenting as intraperitoneal free air-perforated viscus)
Immediate surgery if signs progress to perforation (abd tenderness with guarding)

40
Q

Common cause of SBO in adult

A

Abd surgery causing adhesions.

41
Q

Simple SBO vs Strangulated SBO

A

Simple : luminal occlusion

Stragulated : peritoneal signs and signs of shock
Fever tachycardia , leukocytosis (late)

42
Q

Severe CDI clinical indicators that warrant surgery

A

🚹Signs of peritonitis

🚹Megacolon : >6cm diameter on Xray with associated loss of sm muscular tone (decreased diarrhea)

🚹Increased serum Lactate :
Marker of colon ischemia.

43
Q

Acute diverticulitis entire management

A

Acute LLabd pain and tenderness
CT scan : focal bowel wall thickening +_ visible diverticuLa

🤬No high risk features / complications
Age <70 no fever no leukocytosis
Outpt management
Oral fluids
Oral AB
Close follow up

🤬High risk features:
Age >70
Comorbidities
Immunosuppression
Sepsis / SIRS
⬇️
Inpatient management
Bowel rest
IV fluids
IV AB

🤬COMPLICATIONS

🏧Abscess. IV antibiotics with percutaneous drainage

🏧Perforation, obstruction, fistula
IV antibiotics
Surgery

44
Q

How to manage diverticular abscess

A

Small abscess <4cm.
IV antibiotics
No drainage required

Large abscess >-4cm
Drainage

Percutaneous drainage is done under CT or USG leads to clinical improvement in 48hrs.

45
Q

Acute colonic psudoobstruction (ogilvie syndrome) etiology

A

Major surgery , traumatic injury , severe infection

Electrolyte derangement (dec K , Mg, Ca)

Medications (opiates , anticholinergics)

46
Q

Acute colonic pseudoobstruction CF

A

🧠Abdominal distension , pain , obstipation, Vomiting

🧠Tympanic to percussion

🧠Dec bowels

🧠If perforation : guarding , rigidity , reboundtendernezs

47
Q

Acute colonic psudoobs imaging

A

Xray : Colonic dilation
Normal haustra
Nondilated small bowel
