| materials
133
PARTS OF THE DUODENUM
1. Superior
2. Descending
3. Horizontal
4. Ascending
134
- Ascends from the pylorus
- Overlapped by the liver and gallbladder
- Proximal part has the hepatoduodenal ligament
- Short (5 cm.)
- First 2 cm. has a mesentery and is mobile (duodenal cap)
- Distal 3 cm has no mesentery and is immobile
- Peritoneum covers its anterior aspect
- Bare of peritoneum posteriorly except the ampulla
Superior Part
135
- 7-10 cm. long
- Curves around the head of pancreas
- Lies to the right and parallel to the IVC
- Descends along the right side of L1 to L3 vertebrae
- Retroperitoneal
- Bile and main pancreatic ducts enter its posteromedial wall
o These ducts unite to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla,
which opens on an eminence called the major duodenal
papilla located posteromedially
- Accessory pancreatic duct opens into the minor duodenal
papilla, which is 1.9 cm above the major duodenal papilla
Descending Part
136
REMEMBER (Duodenum)
Descending Part
MINOR duodenal papilla is SUPERIOR to the MAJOR duodenal papilla.
Horizontal Part
IVC, aorta – posterior to horizontal part of duodenum
SMA, SMV, mesentery – anterior to the horizontal part
137
- 6-8 cm long
- Runs transversely to the left passing over the IVC, aorta, and L3 vertebra
- Crossed over by the superior mesenteric vessels and
roots of the mesentery of jejunum and ileum

of the mesentery
Horizontal Part
138
- 5 cm long
- Runs superiorly along the left side of the aorta
- Curve anteriorly to join the jejunum at the duodenojejunal
flexure which is supported by the suspensory muscle of
duodenum (ligament of Treitz)
Ascending Part
139
- suspensory muscle of the duodenum. This muscle is composed of a slip of skeletal muscle from the diaphragm and a fibromuscular band of smooth muscle from the third
and fourth parts of duodenum. Contraction of this muscle widens the angle of the duodenojejunal flexure, facilitating movement of the intestinal contents.

- Perianal abscess (Abscess formed in the glands of the anal crypts)
- Ischiorectal abscess (In ischiorectal fossa)
- Horseshoe abscess
o From ischiorectal fossa to post-anal space
o Kabilaan siya, semicircular
o Tumatagos sa papunta sa kabila through the post-anal space
- Pelvirectal (supralevator) abscess (Above the levator ani muscle)
ANAL ABSCESS
241
- Developed as a result of spread or inadequate treatment of anal abscess
- Internal opening: Inside the lumen
- External opening: Perianal skin
FISTULA IN ANO
242
o External opening situated behind the transverse anal line will open into the anal canal in the midline posteriorly. An interior opening is usually associated with a radial tract.
o Kapag ang external opening ay nasa posterior, ang internal opening ay dapat nasa midline posterior. Ang line niya papuntang internal opening ay magiging curve para makapunta siya sa gitna.
o Kapag ang externa opening ay nasa anterior, ang line papuntang internal opening ay straight lang. Hindi kailangan sa midlne. Pwede sa any point sa internal opening.
o EXCEPTION: Kapag ang anterior external opening ay more than 3 cm from anal verge, ang internal opening niya ay nasa posterior midline na!
Goodsall’s Rule
243
Treatment: FISTULA IN ANO
Fistulotomy – hihiwain ang skin until sa tract para magheal
Before ang treatment ay Fistolectomy (tatanggalin ang buong fistula). Hindi na ginagawa kasi nadadamay ang sphincter (natatanggal) kaya nawawalan ng anal control
244
- Usual location: 6 o’clock position
- Associated with anal sentinel pile
- Cause: high sphincteric tone – compresses the anal vessels resulting to fissure
- Treatment: lateral internal anal sphincterotomy
ANAL FISSURE
245
Imperforate anus
o Walang butas ang pwet
o Yung ibang babies nagkakaroon ng fistula kapag pinanganak
o Oligohydramnios
- Decreased ang amniotic fluid sa uterus
- May problem sa excrete ng amniotic fluid from the body
Diagnostic: Invertogram (X-ray na nakatuwad; Makikita mo yung air; Kapag malayo ang inabot ng air from the anus, pwede magcolostomy.)
Trauma (Impalement) - Any foreign object na nakatusok
CONGENITAL ANOMALY
246
- Aka: Vermiform appendix (L. vermis, wormlike)
- Blind intestinal diverticulum
- 6-10 cm long
- Contain masses of lymphoid tissue
- Arises from posteromedial aspect of cecum below ileocecal junction
APPENDIX
247
- triangular mesentery
- It’s the fatty portion. When you hear the word mesentery it is associated with blood supply and venous drainage because that’s where your arteries and veins will course through.
- Derived from the posterior side of the mesentery of the terminal ileum
- Attaches to the cecum and proximal part of the appendix
Mesoappendix
248
DIFFERENT POSITIONS OF THE APPENDIX
1. Retrocecal – most common
* YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS. In clinical practice, this is what frequently occurs. 64% of patients/people may have a retrocecal appendix and the rest would be pelvic.
2. Pelvic - 2nd most common type (32%)
3. Pre-ileal
4. Sub-cecal
5. Post-ileal
* Pre-ileal, sub-ileal and post-ileal are the rare types.
249
APPENDIX
Blood supply: Appendicular artery
Venous drainage: Appendicular vein
Lymphatic drainage: Ileocolic LN
Nerve supply
SNS: Superior mesenteric plexus
PSNS: CN X
* SMA >> Ileocolic artery >> Appendicular artery
* The most vascularized part of the appendix is the tip.
250
- S/sx: RLQ pain
- McBurney’s point
- Maximal point of tenderness
- Oblique line from right ASIS to umbilicus
o ASIS – anterior superior iliac spine
- Distal end of outer third
- Approximates location of appendix
- Approximates placement of incision
Acute Appendicitis
251
Physical findings (Acute Appendicitis)
RLQ tenderness
- Visceral referred pain
- T10 sympathetic ganglion
Psoas sign
- Stretching of Psoas by right thigh extension causes pain
- Usually naka-bend. Side-lying to minimize the pain
Obturator sign
- Stretching of obturator internus by internal rotation causes pain
- Internal rotation – patient lie supine and bend their legs
252
Appendicitis: Causes
o Enlarge lymph node
o Fecalith
Nagbara yung dumi sa loob. Stool becomes stone-hard
o Young people: usually caused by hyperplasia of lymphatic follicles in the appendix that occludes the lumen
o Older people: the obstruction usually results from a fecalith, a concretion that forms around a center of fecal matter
253
Appendicitis
Treatment: Appendectomy (may be open or laparoscopic)
Incision: McBurney’s / Rocky-Davies
o Locate appendix: trace taenia coli towards posteromedial area of cecum which ends as appendix
o Ligate Appendicular artery and vein (branch of Ileocolic artery and vein)
Complication:
Perforation
- At midportion (because it has the least blood supply) – MUST KNOW!
- Spreads infection to parietal peritoneum
- Greater omentum adheres to appendix to restrict spread of infection
254
```
- Consists of:
o Cecum
o Ascending colon
o Transverse colon
o Descending colon
o Sigmoid colon
```
- encircles the small intestine, the ascending colon lying to the right of the small intestine, the transverse colon superior and/or anterior to it, the descending colon to the left of it, and the sigmoid colon inferior to it.
COLON
255
CHARACTERISTICS OF LARGE INTESTINE
1. Taenia Coli - 3 thickened band of muscle
- Comprise longitudinal muscle of large intestine
- Absent in appendix and rectum
- Start: Base of appendix
- End: Rectosigmoid junction
2. Haustra - Sacculations between taenia
3. Epiploic Appendices - Fatty projections of omentum
4. Internal Diameter - Larger than the small intestines
256
3 Taenia
Omental – the greater omentum has to be dissected before makita yung omental; to which the omental appendices attach
Free – easy to identify; to which neither mesocolons nor omental appendices are attached
Mesocolic – kailangan i-lateralize mo yung colon para makita mo yung mesocolic; to which the omental appendices attach
257

- Palpable at abdominal wall if distended with gas or feces (mostly its gas rather than fecal contents)
- Enveloped by peritoneum
- Can be lifted freely
- Has no mesentery
o No mesentery – not well-vascularized kaya pag nabutas ang cecum, the concern is healing. It’s not gonna heal well
o Because of its relative freedom, it may be displaced from the iliac fossa
- Attached to lateral abdominal wall by cecal folds
- Receives the terminal ileum obliquely
- Folds at ileocecal orifice form the ileocecal valve
CECUM
258

276
- Has a long mesentery; Very mobile
- Can be visualized with sigmoidoscope
- 25 cm from the anus
- Common site of large intestinal obstruction as:
o Valvulus – twisting of mesosigmoid
o Cancer – most common site
o Diverticulitis – connects to urinary bladder from fistula
o Fecal impaction – among the elderly
Sigmoid Colon
277
- Chronic inflammation of the colon
- Characterized by severe inflammation and ulceration of the colon and rectum
- Colectomy may be performed
- Ileostomy is then constructed to establish a stoma, an artificial opening of the ileum through the skin of the AAW
- Colostomy or sigmoidostomy is performed to create an artificial cutaneous opening for the terminal part of the colo
Colitis (Crohn Disease)
278
- A disorder in which multiple false diverticula (external evaginations or outpocketings of the mucosa of the colon) develop along the intestine
- Primarily affects middle-aged and elderly people
- Commonly found in the sigmoid colon
- They can distort and erode the nutrient arteries, leading to hemorrahage
- Diets high in fiber have proven beneficial in reducing the occurrence of diverticulosis
Diverticulosis
279
- Rotation and twisting of the mobile loop of sigmoid colon and mesocolon
- Results in obstruction of the lumen of the descending colon and any part of sigmoid colon proximal to the twisted segment
- Constipation and ischemia occur and may progress to fecal impaction (an immovable collection of compressed or hardened feces) and possible necrosis if untreated
