Oscopies!Sigmoidoscopy
Flexible or rigid scopes are used.
Used to evaluate conditions of the rectum.
IV sedation is recommended.
![Page 5: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Oscopies!
Colonoscopy A procedure done to
check for abnormalities in the colon.
Done under IV sedation
Biopsies, pictures, and brushings can be taken through endoscope.
![Page 6: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Oscopies!ERCP
(Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) Used in visualization of the soft tissues and sphincter fibers of
the papilla and intraduodenal duct. Can lead to ERS, Endoscopic Retrograde Sphincterotomy,
which permit stones to move into the duodenum.
![Page 7: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Oscopies!Choledochoscopy
Visualization of the gallbladder, cystic duct and common bile duct using a scope.
![Page 8: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Oscopies!Esophagoscopy
Performed on the esophagus.
Used to evaluate pain or dysphagia (painful swallowing).
Can be used for foreign body removal, hemostasis, dilation, and biopsies.
Not to be confused with an EGD (Esophagogastroduoden-oscopy)

Laparotomy• Overall Purpose of Procedure:
• An Exploratory Laparotomy is performed to examine he abdominal cavity when less invasive measures, such as x-rays and CT scans, fail to confirm a diagnosis.
• Case length – 30 mins to many hours.
![Page 13: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Laparotomy
• Define the procedure: • Abdominal exploration may be used to help diagnose
many diseases and health problems, including:• Inflammation of the appendix (acute appendicitis) • Inflammation of the pancreas (acute or chronic
pancreatitis) • Pockets of infection (retroperitoneal abscess, abdominal
abscess, pelvic abscess) • Endometriosis • Inflammation of the fallopian tubes (salpingitis) • Scar tissue in the abdomen (adhesions) • Cancer of the ovary, colon, pancreas, liver
![Page 14: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Laparotomy• Inflammation of an intestinal pocket (diverticulitis) • Hole in the intestine (intestinal perforation) • Pregnancy outside of the uterus (ectopic pregnancy) • This surgery may also be used to determine the extent of
certain cancers, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma (also known as Hodgkin's disease, a type of lymphoma characterized clinically by the orderly spread of disease from one lymph node group to another and by the development of systemic symptoms with advanced disease.)
• Wound Classification: 1 (yet depends on what you do during the case)
![Page 15: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Laparoscopic Appendectomy• Overall Purpose of Procedure:
• Appendectomies are performed to treat appendicitis, an inflamed and/or infected appendix. An infected appendix can leak and infect the entire abdominal area, which can be deadly.
• An irritated appendix can rapidly turn into an infected and ruptured appendix, sometimes within hours. A ruptured appendix can be life threatening. When the appendix ruptures, bacteria infect the organs inside the abdominal cavity, causing peritonitis. The bacterial infection can spread very quickly and be difficult to treat if diagnosis is delayed.
![Page 26: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Laparoscopic Appendectomy• Define the procedure: Removal of the
appendix with the aid of a laparoscope.• Wound Classification: 2 if not ruptured
and no spillage of bowel contents during procedure.
• Case length – 30 mins to 1hour.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy• Instrumentation: Laparoscopic Instrument Tray. • What other basic instruments will you expect to see in this tray?
• Positioning: The patient is in supine position, arms tucked at the side. Surgeon stands on the left side of the patient with the camera holder/assistant. Monitor should be placed near right hip facing towards surgeon. Trendelenburg? WHY?
• Prepping: Surgeon preference. Duraprep, Hibiclense or a Betadine Prep Kit. Prep from Chest to just above pubic hair and far lateral on both sides. Pre-prep hair trimming might be necessary.
• Draping: Standard draping procedure. 4 towels and a lap drape. Ask about towel clips.

Laparoscopic Appendectomycont. Operative Sequence
• Hemostasis: Can be from multiple means. The pressure of the trocars entering the pneumoperitineum will stop most bleeding. Bovie: either from the handheld pencil or L (or J) Hook is also available.
![Page 32: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Laparoscopic Appendectomycont. Operative Sequence
• Dissection and Exposure:• Total of 3 trocars should be used • Two 10mm (umbilical and left
lower quadrant) and one 5 mm right upper quadrant trocar
• The right upper quadrant trocar can be moved below the bikini line in females.
• Camera/scope placed into pneumoperitineum.
• In most cases, no other dissection or exposure is needed.
![Page 33: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Laparoscopic Appendectomycont. Operative Sequence
• Exploration and Isolation:• An atraumatic grasper [Endo Babcock, Maryland,
Bowel Grasper, Dolphin Nose Grasper etc] is inserted via the right upper quadrant trocar. The cecum (from the Latin caecus meaning blind) is retracted upward toward the liver. In most cases, this will elevate the appendix in the optical field of the telescope.
• The appendix is grasped at its tip with a 5 mm bowel grasper via the RUQ trocar. It is held in upward position
![Page 34: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Laparoscopic Appendectomycont. Operative Sequence
• Surgical Repair/Removal/Specimen Collection:• Left lower quadrant (LLQ) grasper is used to create a mesenteric
window behind the base of the appendix. A grasper is used to create a mesenteric window under the base of the appendix. The window should be made as close as possible to the base of the appendix.
• The base of the appendix is then separated from it’s cecal base with either an endo-loop suture and scissors or a stapling device. Visualization of the staple line is a must to insure no leakage of bowel content and no bleeding is present.
• The mesoappendix (the portion of the mesentery connecting the ileum to the appendix) is divided and ligated, either with cautery or a stapling device.
• Removal of the appendix with Endo-pouch• or Kellys/Peons
![Page 35: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Laparoscopic Appendectomycont. Operative Sequence
• Hemostasis and Irrigation:• The intra-abdominal cavity is irrigated thoroughly with
normal saline.• All bleeding is controlled with a cautery-capable endo-
instrument.• The abdomen should be examined for any possible
bowel injury or hemorrhage. All the instruments and ports should be carefully and slowly removed while the CO-2 in the pneumoperitineum is released.
![Page 37: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Laparoscopic Appendectomycont. Operative Sequence
• Closure:• Closure will be surgeon specific. Some
Surgeons today will not close any layer other than skin.
• Other surgeons will use a 0-Vicryl to close the fascial/muscle layer and a 4-0 Monocryl for skin.
• Skin staples are always an option.
![Page 38: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Laparoscopic Appendectomy• Major Arteries: The appendix is supplied by the
appendicular artery , branch of the ileocolic artery.
![Page 39: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Laparoscopic Appendectomy• Major Veins: The ileocolic vein, a tributary of the
superior mesenteric vein, drains the blood of the appendix.
• Major Nerves: The nerves of the appendix are derived from
the coeliac and superior mesenteric ganglia.

• Surgeon will clamp base of the appendix with a Kelly clamp.
• Have a heavy silk tie ready to pass around the Kelly, possibly 2 ties.
• Surgeon will run a purse string suture around the base of the appendix (called the “stump”).
• Why do they do this?• Appendix is ready to be excised.
![Page 52: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Laparoscopic Herniorrhaphy
Overall Purpose of Procedure: Hernias present as bulges in the groin area that can become more
prominent when coughing, straining, or standing up. They are often painful, and the bulge commonly disappears on lying down. The inability to "reduce", or place the bulge back into the abdomen usually means the hernia is "incarcerated," often necessitating emergency surgery.
As the hernia progresses, contents of the abdominal cavity, such as the intestines, can descend into the hernia and run the risk of being pinched within the hernia, causing an intestinal obstruction. If the blood supply of the portion of the intestine caught in the hernia is compromised, the hernia is deemed "strangulated," and gut ischemia and gangrene can result, with potentially fatal consequences.
![Page 90: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)

Laparoscopic Herniorrhaphy
Major Arteries: Inferior epigastric artery The testicular artery arises from the anterior aspect of the
aorta at the level of L2 vertebrae. This is the main artery supplying the testis and the
epididymis. The artery of the ductus deferens is a slender vessel that
arises from the inferior vesical artery. It accompanies the ductus deferens throughout its course
and anastomoses with the testicular artery near the testis. The cremasteric artery is a small vessel that arises from the
inferior epigastric artery. It supplies the cremaster muscle and other coverings of the spermatic cord.

Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication
• Overall Purpose of Procedure:– Nissen fundoplication is a procedure that alleviates chronic
heartburn (Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)) in people whose condition cannot be controlled by either lifestyle changes or medication. Their symptoms are caused by severe gastroesophageal reflux due to a weak valve muscle between the stomach and the esophagus. They experience a burning sensation from the chest to the throat whenever stomach acids are forced back up into the esophagus.
![Page 118: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication
• Define the procedure: Preventing stomach acids from being forced back into the esophagus by wrapping the upper portion of the stomach, or fundus, around the bottom of the esophagus with the aid of a laparoscope and laparoscopic instruments to strengthens the stomach valve.
• Wound Classification: 2• Case length –2 to 4 hours.
![Page 119: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)

Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication
cont. Operative Sequence• Hemostasis: Can be from multiple means. The
pressure of the trocars entering the pneumoperitineum will stop most bleeding. Bovie: either from the handheld pencil or L (or J) Hook is also available.
![Page 123: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication cont. Operative Sequence
• Dissection and Exposure:– Multiple ports ( x 5 to start)– Three 10-mm and two 5-mm
trocars are inserted.– The laparoscope is introduced
through a port placed in the midline superior to the umbilicus. Placing the 5-mm trocars on either side of the midline allows for triangulation and avoids interference with the camera’s line of vision.
![Page 124: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication cont. Operative Sequence
• Dissection and Exposure:– The procedure begins with
the exposure of the esophageal hiatus by the anterior retraction of the left lateral segment of the liver with a fan retractor. The liver is elevated and the stomach is exposed.
![Page 125: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication cont. Operative Sequence
• Exploration and Isolation:– Circumferential blunt
dissection of the esophagus at the level of the hiatus will allow for the anterior retraction of the esophagus
![Page 126: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication cont. Operative Sequence
• Surgical Repair:
– The fundus of the stomach is brought behind the esophagus and sutured to itself.
– This anterior segment is approximated over the esophagus to the posterior fundus to ensure a snug wrap, which can be measured over a 56 Fr Maloney/ Bougie or by experience. A maneuver is used to ensure that the fundus slides freely posterior to the esophagus and is of appropriate length.
![Page 127: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication cont. Operative Sequence
• Surgical Repair:– the intra-abdominal portion
of the lower esophageal sphincter is enhanced and reflux into the esophagus is greatly reduced.
– Close attention is paid not to incarcerate the Anterior Vagus Nerve (controls peristalsis in the esophagus)
![Page 128: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication cont. Operative Sequence
• Hemostasis and Irrigation:– The intra-abdominal cavity is irrigated thoroughly with
normal saline.– All bleeding is controlled with a cautery-capable endo-
instrument of Surgeons choice.– Special attention is focused on the liver bed. Highly
vascularized area.– The abdomen should be examined for any possible
bowel injury or hemorrhage. All instruments and ports should be carefully and slowly removed while the CO-2 in the pneumoperitineum is released.
![Page 129: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication cont. Operative Sequence
• Closure:– Closure will be surgeon specific. Some
Surgeons today will not close any layer other than skin.
– Other surgeons will use a 0-Vicryl to close the fascial/muscle layer and a 4-0 Monocryl for skin.
– Skin staples are always an option.

Results
• In properly selected patients, the surgery is successful in improving or eliminating heartburn and regurgitation in greater than 90% of patients.
![Page 131: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
Results
• Patients notice improvement in direct symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation immediately after surgery. Indirect symptoms such as asthma, hoarseness, dysphagia, cough, globus, and esophageal spasm often take weeks to months to improve. These symptoms are not as reliably improved after surgery as the direct symptoms of GERD. Indirect symptoms also do not respond as well to medical treatment.
![Page 132: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)
Results
• In most patients this result is durable and lasting with multiple studies showing a high degree of patient satisfaction many years after the procedure.

Hemorrhoidectomy Alternative
• Stapled hemorrhoidectomy: • In stapled hemorrhoidectomy,
following four-finger anal dilation, the surgeon places a purse-string suture in the rectal mucosa and sub-mucosa about 2 cm above the hemorrhoids.
• A circular stapler, for a one-time use at a cost of roughly $350, is then inserted into the anus.
![Page 148: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
Hemorrhoidectomy Alternative
• The purse-string suture is drawn tight, bringing redundant rectal mucosa and some hemorrhoidal tissue into the stapler head. The device is then fired, stapling the prolapse while circumferentially resecting a chunk of rectal mucosa, which is then removed.
• This chunk is called a “donut”• You or the surgeon must make sure the
donut is complete in it’s circularity.

Colostomy
• Colostomy incision is made well away from the original midline incision to place the “stoma” away from incision site to reduce possible contamination of wound.
• A colostomy is a surgical procedure that brings a portion of the large intestine through the abdominal wall to carry feces out of the body.
![Page 167: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/167.jpg)
Colostomy• Temporary colostomies are created to divert stool from injured or
diseased portions of the large intestine, allowing rest and healing. • Permanent colostomies are performed when the distal bowel must be
removed or is blocked and inoperable. Although colorectal cancer is the most common indication for a permanent colostomy, only about 10–15% of patients with this diagnosis require a colostomy.
![Page 168: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/168.jpg)
Colostomy
• 3 types:– End colostomy. The functioning end of the intestine (the
section of bowel that remains connected to the upper gastrointestinal tract) is brought out onto the surface of the abdomen, forming the stoma (artificial opening) by cuffing the intestine back on itself and suturing the end to the skin. The surface of the stoma is actually the lining of the intestine, usually appearing moist and pink. The distal portion of bowel (now connected only to the rectum) may be removed, or sutured closed and left in the abdomen. An end colostomy is usually a permanent ostomy, resulting from trauma, cancer, or another pathological condition.
![Page 169: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/169.jpg)
Colostomy
• Double-barrel colostomy. This involves the creation of two separate stomas on the abdominal wall. The proximal (nearest) stoma is the functional end that is connected to the upper gastrointestinal tract and will drain stool; the distal stoma, connected to the rectum and also called a mucous fistula, drains small amounts of mucus material. This is most often a temporary colostomy performed to rest an area of bowel, and to be later closed.

Colostomy
• Loop colostomy. This surgery brings a loop of bowel through an incision in the abdominal wall. The loop is held in place outside the abdomen by a plastic rod slipped beneath it. An incision is made in the bowel to allow the passage of stool through the loop colostomy. The supporting rod is removed approximately seven to 10 days after surgery, when healing has occurred that will prevent the loop of bowel from retracting into the abdomen. A loop colostomy is most often performed for creation of a temporary stoma to divert stool away from an area of intestine that has been blocked or ruptured.

Colostomy
– Remember that instruments that come into contact with the INTERIOR of bowel are considered contaminated and need to be kept separate form other clean/sterile instruments.
– Remove them from your immediate field and make sure you don’t go back to them (even when you count!).

Modified Radical Mastectomy
• Overall Purpose of Procedure:• The purpose for modified radical mastectomy is the removal of breast cancer.• Modified radical mastectomy is the most widely used surgical procedure to treat operable breast
cancer. This procedure leaves a chest muscle called the pectoralis major intact. Leaving this muscle in place will provide a soft tissue covering over the chest wall and a normal-appearing junction of the shoulder with the anterior (front) chest wall. This sparing of the pectoralis major muscle will avoid a disfiguring hollow defect below the clavicle. Additionally, the purpose of modified radical mastectomy is to allow for the option of breast reconstruction, a procedure that is possible, if desired, due to intact muscles around the shoulder of the affected side. The modified radical mastectomy procedure involves removal of large multiple tumor growths located underneath the nipple and cancer cells on the breast margins.

Modified Radical Mastectomy
• Define the procedure: • In a modified radical
mastectomy, the entire breast is removed, including the skin, areola and nipple, as well as some to most of the lymph nodes under the arm.
![Page 179: General Procedures](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816733550346895ddbe12f/html5/thumbnails/179.jpg)
Other Types• Simple mastectomy (or "total mastectomy"): In this
procedure, the entire breast tissue is removed, but axillary contents are undisturbed. Sometimes the "sentinel lymph node"--that is, the first axillary lymph node is removed.
• Radical mastectomy (or "Halsted mastectomy"): this procedure involves removing the entire breast, the axillary lymph nodes, and the pectoralis major and minor muscles behind the breast. This procedure is more disfiguring than a modified radical mastectomy and provides no survival benefit for most tumors. This operation is now reserved for tumors involving the pectoralis major muscle or recurrent breast cancer involving the chest wall.

Modified Radical Mastectomy• Instrumentation: Major/Minor Instrument Tray. • What basic instruments will you expect to see in this tray? • What other instruments might you need?
• Positioning: The patient is in supine position, arms on arm boards. Surgeon stands on the affected side of the patient.
• Prepping: Surgeon preference. Duraprep, Hibiclense or a Betadine Prep Kit. Prep from chin to midchest area and far lateral on affected side, sometimes including the arm and axillia.
• Draping: Standard draping procedure. 4 towels and a lap drape. Ask about towel clips. Might have to cover arm/hand with Coban and Stockinette.

Modified Radical Mastectomy cont. Operative Sequence
• Surgical Repair/Removal/Specimen Collection:
• The skin over a neighboring muscle (pectoralis major fascia) is removed, after which the surgeon focuses in the armpit (axilla, axillary) region. In this region, the surgeon carefully identifies vital anatomical structures such as blood vessels (axillary vein) and nerves. Accidental injury to specific nerves like the medial pectoral neurovascular bundle will result in destruction of the muscles that this surgery attempts to preserve, such as the pectoralis major muscle. In the armpit region, the surgeon carefully protects the vital structures while removing cancerous tissues. After axillary surgery, breast reconstruction can be performed, if desired by the patient.
