A

If PPIs are to be given, some have recommended that there be a 12-h separation between administration of the PPI and clopidogrel to minimize competition of the two agents with the involved cytochrome P450. One option is to give the PPI 30 min before breakfast and the clopidogrel at bedtime.

both truncal and selective v tomy (preserves the celiac and hepatic branches) result in gastric atony despite successful reduction of both basal acid output (BAO; decreased by 85%) and maximal acid output

126
Q

____ is required in an effort to compensate for the vagotomy-induced gastric motility disorder.

A

Drainage through pyloroplasty or gastroduodenostomy is required in an effort to compensate for the vagotomy-induced gastric motility disorder.

127
Q

To minimize gastric dysmotility,
____ vagotomy was developed. Only the vagal fibers innervating the portion of the stomach that contains parietal cells is transected, thus leaving fibers important for regulating gastric motility intact.

A

highly selective vagotomy
(also known as parietal cell, super-selective, or proximal vagotomy)

128
Q

The procedure that provides the lowest rates of ulcer recurrence (1%) but has the highest complication rate is ______.

A

The procedure that provides the lowest rates of ulcer recurrence (1%) but has the highest complication rate is vagotomy (truncal or selective) in combination with antrectomy.

129
Q

This procedure is aimed at eliminating an additional stimulant of gastric acid secretion, gastrin.

A

Antrectomy is aimed at eliminating an additional stimulant of gastric acid secretion, gastrin.

130
Q

Two principal types of reanastomoses are used after antrectomy:

A
  • Billroth I - gastroduodenostomy
  • Billroth II - gastrojejunostomy
131
Q

Billroth I is often preferred over II

True or false

A

True

132
Q

the treatment of choice for an antral ulcer

A

Antrectomy (including the ulcer) with a Billroth I anastomosis

133
Q

Vagotomy is performed only if a DU is present.

True or False

A

True

134
Q

Ulcers located near the esophagogastric junction may require a more radical approach, a subtotal gastrectomy with a Roux-en-Y esophagogastrojejunostomy also called ….

A

Csendes’ procedure

135
Q

A less aggresive approach, including antrectomy, intraoperative ulcer biopsy, and vagotomy may be indicated in fragile patients with a high GU.

A

Kelling-Madlener procedure

136
Q

Ulcers that recur after partial gastric resection tend to develop at what site

A

at the anastomosis

137
Q

most frequent presenting complaint (>90%) of recurrent ulcerarion

A

Epigastric abdominal pain

138
Q

Incomplete vagotomy can be ruled out HOW ….

A

by gastric acid analysis coupled with sham feeding.

In this test, gastric acid output is measured while the patient sees, smells, and chews a meal (without swallowing). The cephalic phase of gastric secretion, which is mediated by the vagus, is being assessed with this study. An increase in gastric acid output in response to sham feeding is evidence that the vagus nerve is intact.

138
Q

This complication is rarely seen today as a result of the decrease in the performance of Billroth II anastomosis

A

Afferent loop syndrome

139
Q

there are 2 types of afferent loop syndrome. Mechanism of the more common type….

A
  • The more common of the two is bacterial overgrowth in the afferent limb secondary to stasis.
  • Patients may experience postprandial abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea with concomitant malabsorption of fats and vitamin B12.
140
Q

there are 2 types of afferent loop syndrome. Mechanism of the less common type….

A
  • less common afferent loop syndrome can present with severe abdominal pain and bloating that occur 20–60 min after meals.
  • The cause of this clinical picture is theorized to be incomplete drainage of bile and pancreatic secretions from an afferent loop that is partially obstructed
141
Q

timing of occurence of early vs late dumping syndrome

A
  • Early dumping takes place 15–30 min after meals
  • Late phase of dumping typically occurs 90 min to 3 h after meals.
141
Q

Mechanism for signs and symptoms of early dumping

A

Early dumping takes place 15–30 min after meals and consists of crampy abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, belching, tachycardia, palpitations, diaphoresis, light-headedness, and, rarely, syncope. These signs and symptoms arise from the rapid emptying of hyperosmolar gastric contents into the small intestine, resulting in a fluid shift into the gut lumen with plasma volume contraction and acute intestinal distention.

142
Q

Mechanism for signs and symptoms of LATE dumping

A

Vasomotor symptoms (light-headedness, diaphoresis, p tations, tachycardia, and syncope) predominate during this phase. This component of dumping is thought to be secondary to hypoglycemia from excessive insulin release.

143
Q

Dumping syndrome is most noticeable after meals rich in ……

A

simple carbohydrates (especially sucrose) and high osmolarity

144
Q

cornerstone of therapy for patients with dumping syndrome.

A

Dietary modification….

  • Small, multiple (six) meals
  • devoid of simple carbohydrates
  • coupled with elimination of liquids during meals
145
Q

Drug useful in dumping syndrome that is diet-refractor

A

Octreotide

146
Q

These drugs are often useful in symptom control for postvagotomy diarrhea

A

Diphenoxylate or loperamide

147
Q

A subset of post–partial gastrectomy patients who present with abdominal pain, early satiety, nausea, and vomiting will have mucosal erythema of the gastric remnant as the only finding. Histologic examination of the gastric mucosa reveals minimal inflammation but the presence of epithelial cell injury. This clinical picture is categorized as….

A

Bile Reflux Gastropathy

147
Q

Drugs useful for bile reflux gastropathy (3)

A
  • Prokinetic agents
  • cholestyramine
  • and sucralfate
148
Q

Mechanism behind reduced Vitamin B12 after partial gastrectomy

A
  • This is usually not due to deficiency of intrinsic factor (IF), since a minimal amount of parietal cells (source of IF) are removed during antrectomy.

Reduced vitamin B 12 may be due to
* competition for the vitamin by bacterial overgrowth or
* inability to split the vitamin from its protein-bound source due to hypochlorhydria.
