Slide Content

Surgery Review A Free Booklet Series by Dr. Aryan

Preface: This is the study material designed by Dr. Aryan with creation and compilation of the best of the best and the most finest slides on the subject. I would like to offer a billion heartily thanks for everyone who contributed directly or indirectly to the creation of the material through creation and dissemination of the scientific information. Covering everything in one study material is next to impossible. Hence, refer to gold standard textbooks for building solid concepts or in case of any doubt. Textbooks are acknowledged at the end of the presentation. If any source has been missed to acknowledge, it doesn’t lessen their impact and contribution in any way. Don’t keep searching for pattern between the consecutive slides. You won’t find many. Rather to boost your recall and review, I have constructed many slides and are deliberately placed with no much relation between the preceding and the succeeding ones. The main rule of a review material is that it must make you recall or learn maximum amount of information in minimum amount of time and space. Motivational quotes and articles are included within the slides. Always remember that every good idea, nice piece of information and everything else is literally and absolutely worthless unless you execute. If you know everything in the slides in much detail, you probably wouldn’t need this material. Best of luck WORK & SUCCESS! Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Confusion Corner: Clinical Reasoning in Appendicitis Shifting pain: Firstly visceral vague pain starts around the umbilicus (due to same dermatomal innervation). Later the pain changes to specifically localized somatic pain (due to irritation of the parietal peritoneum). Rovsing’s sign : Palpation of LIF induces pain in right iliac fossa due to shifting of bowel loops which irritates parietal peritoneum. Hyperextension causes pain in retrocecal appendix due to irritation to psoas muscle (patient in flexion attitude for comfort). Internal rotation in pelvic appendix irritates obturator internus . Silent appendix in case of retrocecal appendix which means that cecum distended with gas prevents the pressure from palpation to reach the inflamed appendix. Early diarrhea and increased frequency of micturition in case of pelvic appendix due to its contact with rectum and bladder. When the appendix is completely pelvic, classical signs like abdominal rigidity and tenderness over the McBurney’s point is absent as well. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Incisions in Appendectomy Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

COI for Ochsner-Sherren regimen include doubtful diagnosis, appendicitis in elderly and children, gangrenous appendicitis and diffuse peritonitis. Appendicular mass ( periappendicular phlegmon ) consists of inflamed appendix, greater omentum , edematous cecum, terminal ileum, loop of intestine, ascending colon and adjacent peritoneum. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Ochsner-Sherren regimen in a Nutshell NG tube decompression NPO for 48 to 72 hours Drugs Antibiotics for Gram positive, negative and anaerobic bacteria (Ceftriaxone 1 gm IV BD & Metronidazole 500 mg IV TDS) Analgesics (Tramadol 50 mg IV TDS. Stronger analgesics like pethidine may mask complications) PPI IV fluids Monitoring Vital signs (temperature, pulse, RR, BP) 4 hourly Size of the mass marked twice daily Per abdominal examination for features of peritonitis TC and DC (if increased may mean appendicular abscess formed) Interval appendectomy after 6-8 weeks Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Sequelae of appendicitis Complete resolution Appendicular lump Appendicular abscess Gangrenous appendicitis Mucocele Perforation Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Complications of Appendectomy Paralytic ileus Reactionary hemorrhage Pyelophlebitis (suppurative and inflamed thrombosis of portal vein) Would sepsis Fecal fistula Right inguinal hernia (injury to ilioinguinal nerve) Adhesions & Intestinal obstruction Respiratory problems & DVT Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Complication of Cholecystectomy Bile duct injury Bile leak Biliary stricture Biliary fistula Injury to colon, duodenum or mesentery Hemorrhage Waltman-Walter syndrome (accumulation of bile in right subhepatic and subphrenic space compressing the IVC) Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

IBS Treatment Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

SIRS Criteria Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Confusion Corner: Movement of Pain Types of Movement Description Radiation of pain Extension of pain to other side while original site of pain persists. Pain in pancreatitis radiating to back is an example. Referred pain Pain is experienced but at a site distant from the original site of pathology due to same innervation. E.g. irritation to diaphragm supplied by phrenic nerve (C3, C4, C5) is referred to shoulder (C3, C4). Shifting/Migrating pain Pain is experienced at one site, then it shifts to another site and pain at original site disappears. Classic example is acute appendicitis when pain is first felt in umbilical region (T9, T10: same as appendix) which later irritates the parietal peritoneum overlying appendix and pain is felt in RIF. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Swelling with impulse on coughing other than hernia? Swelling with positive cough impulse are typically continuous with one of the body cavities: Abdominal cavity (Hernia, Iliopsoas abscess, Lumbar abscess) Pleural cavity (Empyema necessitans) Spinal canal (Meningocele) Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Slip sign in Lipoma When edge of the solid swelling is palpated the margin of the solid swelling does not yield to the palpating finger but slips away from it. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Claudication Arterial Claudication develops after walking a fixed distance (Claudication distance). Boyd classification distinguishes the same: I- pain relieved on walking, II- walks in pain, III- compelled to take rest, IV- pain at rest (relieved by hanging leg by side of bed due to pooling of blood secondary to gravity ).

What are signs of ischemia due to arterial insufficiency? Thinning of the skin Diminished growth of hair Loss of subcutaneous fat Shininess Trophic changes in the nails which become brittle with transverse ridges Minor ulceration in pressure areas viz. heel, malleoli, ball of the foot, tip of the toes Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Ischemic tests for Upper Limbs Description Disappearing Pulse Syndrome Examine the pulse. Exercise the limb. Pulse would disappear after claudication develops secondary to vasodilation and increased vascular space. Elevated Arm Test (Modified Roo’s Test) Ask the patient to abduct arm to 90° and then externally rotate the arm. Open an close the hands for 5 minutes. If any pain, fatigue, paresthesia, tingling or numbness develops, the test is positive for thoracic outlet syndrome. Allen’s Test Ask patient to clench the fist and press on the radial and ulnar artery of the wrist. Ask patient to open and close the fist for 1 minute. Release artery one by one. Costo-clavicular compression ( Falconi’s Test) Feel the radial pulse. Then throw the shoulder backward and downward as exaggerated military position. Absent or feeble pulse occurs secondary to subclavian artery compression between clavicle and 1 st rib. Hyperabduction manoeuvre (Halsted Test/ Pectoralis Minor Syndrome) Feel the radial pulse. Passively hyperabduct the arm. Radial pulse would be feeble or absent due to compression of artery by pectoralis minor tendon. Adson’s Test (Cervical Rib/ Scaleous Anticus Syndrome) Ask the patient to sit on a stool and take a deep breath. Turn the face to affected side. Radial pulse would be absent due to compression of subclavian artery. Branham’s Sign/ Nicoladonis Sign It is very simple test for AV fistula. At least remember the name of the test. All you have to do is press proximal to the fistula and you are done. It would cause reduction in size of the swelling, disappearance of bruit, fall in pulse rate and pulse pressure returns to normal. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Harvey’s Sign for Limb Ischemia The sign checks adequate venous refilling Press two index fingers side by side touching each other on a vein Move finger nearer to heart proximally to empty the vein between the two fingers The vein is empty now Release the distal finger Observe for venous refilling Delayed venous refilling in ischemic limb Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Buerger’s Postural Test for PAD Perform Buerger’s test in broad daylight. Keep at 20° for 2 minutes. If no pallor or discomfort then elevate to 30°, 45°, 60° to 90°. If pallor is absent in suspected case, support the leg and ask patient to flex and extend ankle and toes to the point of fatigue which causes pallor & veins on dorsum becomes empty and guttered. Within few minutes cyanotic hue appears. Additionally you can also check for: Capillary filling time: elevated normal leg remains pink throughout. Ischemic limb will show pallor on elevation, pink in horizontal position and later dusky red (purple) due to deoxygenated oxygen. Venous refilling time: Normal limb will show guttering at 90° and normal refilling as soon as 5 minutes. Ischemic limb will be guttered on 10° or even while horizontal. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

What is Crossed Leg Test & Reactive Hyperemia test for ischemia detection? Crossed leg test: Ask the patient to sit with leg crossed over the other leg so that popliteal fossa of one leg will lie over the knee of another. Divert the attention. If oscillatory movement is seen that would be synchronous with the pulse of popliteal artery. Reactive hyperemia test: This is a very simple test. Blood pressure cuff is inflated for 250 mm Hg and kept for 5 minutes. In normal limb, red flush will appear within seconds. The more severe is the ischemia, additional time would be required to get the flushing. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Brodie- Trendelenburg test The objective of the test is to determine incompetency of sapheno-femoral valve and perforating veins Place the patient in recumbent position to empty the veins and ask to quickly stand up with pressure on. Two ways to perform the test: Release the pressure: If blood rapidly fills from above, there is incompetence of sapheno-femoral valve. Keep the pressure on for 1 minute: If blood gradually from below, there is incompetence of perforator veins or communicating veins. Basic Anatomy: Lower limb veins have superficial and deep systems connected by communicating or perforator veins. Flow is always from superficial to deep veins unless pathology exists. Many mechanisms like venae comitantes and calf pump exists for venous drainage. Valves are present throughout the venous system. Incompetence of perforators or valves result in varicose veins . Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Tests for Venous System (Lower Limb) Description Tourniquet test ( Oschner Mahorner’s test: Multiple tourniquet test) Tie tourniquet at different level after emptying the veins. Ask the patient to stand up. If veins above tourniquet fills up: perforator incompetence above. If it fills below and above remains collapsed: perforator incompetence below. Perthe’s test In Perthe’s test, elastic bandage is wrapped from toes to groin and patient is asked to move around. Severe crampy pain suggests DVT. In modified Perthe’s test instead of elastic bandage, a tourniquet is tied below saphenofemoral junction without emptying the veins. Ask the patient to walk quickly. If deep and communicating veins are normal, varicose veins will shrink. If blocked veins would be more distended and bursting pain felt. Schwartz test The Schwartz test simply checks continuous column of blood due to valvular incompetence. Keep one finger at saphenofemoral junction or upper end of visibly dilated veins and tap dilated vein at lower end of leg: impulse felt. Pratt’s test Apply Esmarch bandage from toes to groin. Apply tourniquet at groin and take off the bandage. Apply the bandage from groin downwards. Look for blow outs or visible varices in place of perforators. Morrisey’s Cough Impulse test Empty the vein by elevating it. Ask the patient to cough and feel the expansile impulse at saphenofemoral junction. Fegan’s test Mark the excessive bulges within the varicosities. Ask the patient to lie down. Palpate along the marked areas to feel for crescenteric gaps/pits in deep fascia.

Moses’ Sign: While gently squeezing lower part of calf from side to side, pain develops in DVT Neuhof’s Sign: Thickening and deep tenderness elicited while palpating deep in calf muscles Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Causes of breast retraction? Developmental retraction Carcinoma of breast Developmental retraction Carcinoma of breast Circular Slit like (see the picture ) Can be everted Cannot be everted No underlying swelling palpable Underlying swelling palpable Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Breast Examination Positions Purpose of the Position Sitting position with arms by the side of body Information on level of nipples, lump and palpation of axillary lymph nodes Sitting position with arms raised over the head Lump or nipple retraction becomes more prominent Sitting and bending forward Fixity of the breast to chest wall and pectoralis major muscle Sitting and hands on the waist Abnormal movement of nipples or exaggeration of skin dimples Recumbent with 45° head end elevation and both hands by side of head To palpate the breast lump against the chest wall in recumbent position Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Blockage of subcuticular lymphatics with oedema of skin Deepens the mouth of sweat glands and hair follicles Typical orange peel appearance Peau d’ orange appearance in Breast Carcinoma Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

What is Bapat test? Also known as bed shaking test, bapat test is used to diagnose early peritonitis Foot end of the bed is moved slightly Pain is evoked at the site of inflamed organ Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Poor Stream of Urine: Does the stream improve on straining? Yes: Urethral Stricture No: BPH BPH Carcinoma Prostate Consistency: Rubber like Consistency: Stony hard Surface: Smooth Surface: Irregular Median groove and lateral sulci: Deepened Median groove and lateral sulci: Obliterated Mobility of rectal mucosa: Present Mobility of rectal mucosa: Absent Arises from transitional zone (Submucosal gland) Arises from peripheral zone (Prostatic gland proper) Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

What are the criteria for removal of Chest T ube? Lung fully expanded in Chest X-Ray with no air leak on removal of suction or forceful coughing. If this is confirmed, chest tube placed on water seal for 4-24 hours depending on initial severity and another CXR is taken. If no renewed pneumothorax and no air leak on forceful cough, remove chest tube. T ube clamping can also be performed for 4-6 hours before removal with chest radiograph repeated at intervals viz. 2 hours, 6 hours and 12 hours. If no accumulation, remove chest tube. Ideally for pneumothorax, the chest tube should remain in place for at least 24 hours after the lung reexpands and air leak ceases. Drainage of <50 cc fluid/day. If patient is on mechanical ventilation, the chest tube may be needed as long as the patient needs mechanical ventilation. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Surgical Site Infection (SSI) Infection within 30 days after surgery if no implant is placed and within 1 year if implant is in place and infection appears to be related to the operation Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Superficial Incisional Surgical Site Infection Involves only skin and subcutaneous tissue of incision with at least one of the following: Purulent drainage with or without laboratory confirmation from superficial incision Organisms isolated from aseptically obtained culture of fluid or tissue from superficial incision A least one of the following signs or symptoms of infection: pain or tenderness, localized swelling, redness, heat and incision is deliberately opened by surgeon unless incision is culture negative Diagnosis made by surgeon or attending physician Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Deep Incisional Surgical Site Infection Involves deep tissue (muscles, fascia) with at least one of the following: Purulent discharge from deep incision but not from organ/space An abscess or evidence of infection involving the deep incision is found on direct examination, during reoperation, by histopathlogic or radiological examination A least one of the following signs or symptoms of infection: fever (>38°C), localized pain or tenderness , and incision is deliberately opened by surgeon unless incision is culture negative Diagnosis made by surgeon or attending physician Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Organ/Space Surgical Site Infection Involves any part of anatomy (organ and spaces) other than incision which has opened or manipulated during surgery with at least one of the following: Purulent drainage from a drain placed through a wound into the organ/space Organisms isolated from aseptically obtained culture of fluid or tissue in organ space An abscess or other evidence of infection involving the organ space that is found during direct examination, reoperation, by histologic or radiologic examination Diagnosis made by surgeon or attending physician Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Rates of SSI according to W ound Types Wound types Infection rate Clean 1-2% Clean contaminated <10% Contaminated 15-20% Dirty <40% Infection rates are variable based on various researches. These percentages are just general guidelines on what to expect. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

What is Ogilvie Syndrome? Acute dilatation of colon in absence of any mechanical obstruction in severely ill patients (usually in elderly sedentary patients immobilized for other surgeries) Also referred to as “acute megacolon” or “paralytic ileus of the colon” Correct fluid and electrolytes followed by colonoscopy to suck out all air and place a long rectal tube Cholinergic drug Neostigmine can stimulate and increase colonic motility but has a potential dangerous consequence if given in case of actual obstruction . Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Setons in a Nutshell A seton is a nonabsorbable nylon or silk suture that is guided through the fistula tract and tied exteriorly to be kept for weeks to months in order to compress and maintain suture placement in the tract. Ischemic compression created by the seton and the local inflammatory reaction of adjacent tissues initiate fibrosis. Fibrosis maintains the integrity of the sphincter musculature during subsequent fistulotomy. Also allow epithelialization of the fistulous tract , thereby preventing secondary closure and facilitating the drainage of abscesses. Loose setons are used before advanced techniques (fistulectomy, advancement flap, cutting section), as a part of staged fistulotomy (for high level fistulas e.g. transsphincteric and suprasphincteric fistulas, simple fistulotomy is contraindicated) & for long term palliation to avoid septic and painful exacerbations by effective drainage. Cutting or tight setons are used for many reasons like when the fistula is high enough and passes through enough portion of sphincter muscle and to minimize sphincter dysfunction. Cutting seton gradually transect the anal sphincter musculature underlying the fistula by externally tightening the suture to induce pressure necrosis . Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Signs of Peritoneal Irritation Tenderness Rebound tenderness Guarding Rigidity Absent bowel sounds (silent abdomen) Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Techniques of Lowering Intracranial Pressure Pathophysiology Head elevation (up to 30 degrees) Increased venous outflow from brain Sedation & Hypothermia Decreased metabolic demand and control of hypertension Mannitol Osmotic diuretic, extraction of free water out of brain tissues (risk of rebound phenomenon). Use diuretics (e.g. furosemide) but not to the point of lowering systemic arterial pressure (Brain perfusion = Arterial pressure – ICP) Hyperventilation Carbon-dioxide washout, leading to cerebral vasoconstriction (unmonitored hyperventilation can lead to iatrogenic brain ischemia) Steroids Decrease CSF production and edema Surgery Ventriculostomy, external drains, shunt operations, craniotomy, craniectomy or lobectomy Intracranial pressure is a overall function of pressure of brain parenchyma (fairly constant except in mass lesions), CSF (fairly constant unless ventricular flow obstruction is present) and Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF). CBF increases due to hypercapnia, increased metabolic demand and hypoxia. Elevated blood pressure further adds to the pressure milieu that sets in .

Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

What are the reasons behind post-operative atelectasis? Postoperative pain promotes shallow and rapid breathing (particularly in abdominal and thoracoabdominal surgeries) Narcotic analgesics depress the respiratory drive and cough reflexes Anesthetic agents as well as drugs can decrease mucociliary clearance and may promote bronchoconstriction Pickwickian syndrome (Obesity hypoventilation syndrome) Supine position increases the intraabdominal pressure acting on the undersurface of the diaphragm limiting alveolar expansion at end expiration thereby reducing Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) Treatment includes incentive spirometry, adequate pain control, chest physiotherapy, frequent repositioning or early ambulation, deep breathing exercises, continuous positive airway pressure and intermittent positive pressure breathing. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Dumping Syndrome in a Nutshell Post gastrectomy complication in which rapid emptying (dumping) of hypertonic gastric content into duodenum and small intestine Release of intestinal vasoactive polypeptides and stimulation of autonomic nervous system Postprandial abdominal cramps, weakness, light-headedness and diaphoresis is common Symptoms may start around half and hour after eating Dietary changes are helpful. Octreotide has shown some benefits as well. Resistant cases might require reconstructive surgeries. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Anterior Urethra Injury Posterior Urethra Injury Penile and bulbar urethra distal to urogenital diaphragm Prostatic and Membranous urethra Blunt trauma to the perineum (straddle injuries) or instrumentation of urethra Pelvis fractures are notorious for causing posterior urethral injuries Examination: Normal prostate Examination: High riding prostate with blood at urethral meatus Stricture may be present Stenosis is seen in posterior urethra Inability to urinate may not be seen at the outset but delayed presentation might be complicated by sepsis secondary to extravasation of urine to perineum, scrotum or abdominal wall Inability to void following major trauma Injury to the urethra or bladder neck/anterior bladder (injury to the dome of bladder can cause urinary leakage to the peritoneum) does not cause peritonitis by itself. The reason of the coexistence is the association of these injuries with pelvic fractures or major trauma. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Urethral Trauma Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Is it really undescended testicle? Undescended testicle that has not reached the scrotum by the age of one needs to be surgically corrected and brought down to place for fixing (Orchiopexy) If you find the testicle in the canal at birth which can easily be pulled down where it belongs, then it is not a case of cryptorchidism Rather it is highly suggestive of a benign entity, known as hyperactive cremasteric muscle (retractile testis).

Usually non-tender thus could mimic neoplasm Incision and Drainage needs to be done. In some sites like breast, axilla, parotid, thigh, ischiorectal abscess, we do not even wait for fluctuation i.e. for abscess to fully form before drainage. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

After confirmation of abscess by aspiration, skin is excised parallel to the neurovascular structures in most dependent position . Pyogenic membrane is broken by sinus forceps. All loculi are broken with sinus forceps or little finger. A drain is placed. Wound is not sutured or closed. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Confusion Corner: Right Vs. Left? Anterior Vs. Posterior? Right sided colon cancer presents with bleeding and left sided with features of obstruction Posterior gastric ulcers are more prone to bleeding and anterior ones to perforation Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Truncal vagotomy causes gastric stasis, hence drainage is required. In HSV, nerve of laterjet is preserved while criminal nerve of Grassi must be severed. Alternatively, truncal vagotomy with antrectomy could be done for chronic duodenal ulcers which again requires reconstruction of the GI tract (Billroth I and II viz. gastroduodenostomy & gastrojejunostomy). Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Types of Gastrectomy Billroth I Standard for gastric ulcers Distal stomach with pylorus is excised, new lesser curve to match the size of duodenum created End to end gastroduodenal anastomosis is made Pylorus preserving gastrectomy (Maki) Pylorus along with the pyloric branches of vagus is preserved Prevent rapid gastric emptying Billroth II Resection of around two thirds of stomach, closing the duodenum and end to end gastrojejunal anastomosis Physiology is much altered Vagotomy and antrectomy Along with truncal vagotomy, antrectomy and reconstruction of the GI tract is done Subtotal gastrectomy Stomach closed from lesser curvature and Roux loop is created with gastrojejunostomy Radical or total gastrectomy Entire stomach, lymph nodes, greater and lesser omentum is removed Oesophagojejunostomy with a Roux en Y loop is created Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Courvoisier’s Law Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal) A palpable gallbladder is unusual in patients with obstructive jaundice because the obstruction causes inflammation, thickening, fibrosis, contraction and nondistensible gall bladder. Courvoisier’s Law: “In a jaundiced patient if gallbladder is palpable and non tender, it is rarely due to stones.” Exceptions to Courvoisier’s Law: Double impacted stone- one in CBD & one in cystic duct with mucocele of gall bladder Large stone in Hartman’s Pouch Empyema Gall B ladder

Why direct hernia is very rare in females? Because of the stress of the childbearing, the transversalis fascia in females is stronger in the floor of the inguinal canal than in males, so since Hesselbach triangle consists of only transversalis fascia covered by external oblique aponeurosis they provide additional strength to females. Weakening of the conjoint tendon can precipitate a direct hernia. Deficient insertion of this conjoint tendon predisposes men to direct hernia. In females, the attachment is quite wider hence the protective effect. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Hemorrhoids refer to sliding down of vascular and connective anal cushions i.e. aggregation of blood vessels, smooth muscles and connective tissues abnormally due to straining and other causes. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Post-operative Fever Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Anal Fissure in a Nutshell Conservative treatment of anal fissures is similar to that of hemorrhoids. Adequate fluid, alteration of bowel habits to make defecation less traumatic, fiber diet, stool softeners, sitz baths, topical anesthetics before defecation, pharmacological agents to relax internal sphincter and increase blood flow. Operative treatment include Lord’s dilation, dorsal fissurectomy with sphicterectomy & lateral anal sphicterectomy . Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal) Anal fissure is a small tear or cut in the lining of the anus.

Six Steps of Breaking Bad News Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

What to ask for history of a swelling? Duration Usually the patient’s answer is the duration since he noticed the swelling Mode of onset Progression Inflammatory swelling would first increase and then later decrease in size once the inflammation subsides Exact site Usually for a huge swelling. Patient might be better able to tell it as he/she had seen its progression Pain Secondary changes Softening Ulceration Fungation Inflammatory changes Associated features Fever Impairment of function Loss of body weight Chest pain, hemoptysis, cough, bone pain,etc . Others Past history of swelling, personal, family, treatment, allergy history as usual

Burn Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal) If a patient presents late to the health facility, calculate the fluid to be administered from the time on the burn, not from the time of presentation if no fluid was administered before presenting to the health facility.

Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

Confusion Corner: Do we always use Parkland formula for fluid calculation in burns? Parkland aka Baxter formula in honor of Dr. Charles R. Baxter and other formulas are not the exclusive ways to dictate fluid administration If burn surface area is >20%, administer 1000 mL/ hr of RL without sugar (20 mL/kg/ hr in babies), then adjusted and fine-tuned the amount to maintain urinary output 1 or 2 mL/kg/ hr Why is sugar avoided in Ringer Lactate? Sugar causes osmotic diuresis from glycosuria. Since we are using urinary output as our guiding factor for fluid administration, it is avoided to prevent falsely increased urinary output.

Primary Vs. Secondary Bladder Stones Primary stone is the one that develops in sterile urine. Often originates in kidney and passes down the ureter to the bladder where it enlarges. Secondary stone is the one that occurs in the presence of infection, bladder outflow obstruction, impaired bladder emptying or foreign body like nonabsorbable sutures, metal staples or catheter fragments. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

PSA value in locally confined cancer is usually < 10-15 ng /ml while its >30 ng /ml in metastatic carcinoma. In prostate, the peripheral zone is the carcinomatous while transitional and central zones are adenomatous, hence site for BPH. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)

What is Bladder Outlet Obstruction? It is a urodynamic concept based on pressure flow studies characterized by low urinary flow rate ( <10 mL/s) and high voiding pressure (>80 cm of H 2 O) Normal urinary flow rate is >15 mL /s. 10-15 mL /s is equivocal. Normal voiding pressure is <60 cm of H20. 60-80 cm of H 2 O is equivocal. Dr. Aryan (Anish Dhakal)
