PROCEDURES 13

LEFT HEMICOLECTOMY

When is the procedure indicated?

Left Hemicolectomy is required in the following cases:

·       Tumours of the splenic flexure and descending colon

·       Diverticular disease with perforation or bleeding with the removal of part of transverse descending and sigmoid colon. 

Position of the patient

Supine.

 Anesthesia

General.

Surgical steps

·       Midline incision is given

·       The Descending colon and splenic flexure are mobilized.

·       The inferior mesenteric vessel is divided between ligatures at its take off.

·       The greater omentum is separated from the stomach to take it with the left half of the transverse colon.

·       Now colon is divided between clamps removing left lateral third of transverse colon and descending and sigmoid colon.

·       Then anastomose transverse colon to the rectum using a single layer of interrupted non-absorbable suture.

·       To avoid tension, it may be necessary to mobilise the right transverse colon.

·       The abdomen is closed without drainage.

Instruments

·       General set

·       Laparotomy set

·       Harrington splanchnic retractor

PROCEDURE Cholecystostomy

CHOLECYSTOSTOMY

When is this operation required`?

Cholecystostomy is required in cases of inflammation of gall bladder:

·        To open the gall bladder

·        To remove stones from the gall bladder and drain it .

Position of the patient

Supine.

Anesthesia

General.

Surgical steps

·        A vertical or right sub costal incision is given.

·        The gall bladder is surrounded with packs.

·        The bile is aspirated.

·        Now the gall bladder is incised near the fundus; the bile is aspirated and all stones are removed.

·        Do not miss stone impacted in the cystic duct.

·        Insert a 24F Foley catheter and close the opening around the cath­eter using a purse-string        suture.

·        The gall bladder is fixed to the parietal peritoneum.

·        The sub hepatic area is washed and abdomen is closed with subhe­patic suction drainage.

Instruments used

·        Laparotomy set

·        Gallstone-holding forceps

·        Foley catheter

PROCEDURE ILEOCOLOSTOMY

ILEOCOLOSTOMY

When do you need this operation?

This operation may be required in the following cases:

· Poor-risk patients with obstruction due to ileocaecal tuberculosis

· Unresectable growth of transverse or descending colon.

· Transverse ileocolostomy to bypass the obstruction because of unresectable cancer of caecum or ascending colon.

Position of the patient

Supine.

General.

Surgical steps

· An upper or lower paramedian or midline incision is given.

· A mobile loop of terminal ileum is brought into apposition to transverse or sigmoid colon as the case may be.

APPENDICULAR LUMP

What are the various positions of appendix?

· Retrocaecal

· Pelvic

· Pre-ileal

· Post-ileal.

What is an appendicular lump?

In cases of acute appendicitis, the infection can spread beyond the appendix to

· Omentum

· Ileum

· Caecum

· Parietal peritoneum.

All these structures get inflamed and produce exudates; this causes adherence of these organs. These inflamed adherent organs form the appendicular mass. There may be pus in this mass.

How do you treat an appendicular lump?

The treatment is non-operative:

· Bed rest

· Nil orally (by month)

· Nutrition by intravenous feeding

· Nasogastric suction if there is distension

· Antibiotics (broad spectrum) for aerobes and anaerobes

· Frequent re-examination to assess the size of mass, fever and pulse rate

· Surgical intervention if no improvement occurs.

APPENDICECTOMY PROCEDURE

APPENDICECTOMY

What are the indications of appendicectomy?

· In cases of acute or recurrent acute infection (acute or recurrent acute appendicitis) of the appendix or tumors of the appendix (carcinoid)

· Access to the organs in the right iliac fossa.

· To excise the diseased appendix.

Positions of the patient

Supine.

Anaestheia given

General, epidural or spinal.

· A right gridiron incision is given.

· Caecum is identified and a Taenia coli to the base of the appendix is traced.

· Next the appendix is mobilised to its base by dividing mesoappendix between ligratures.

· The base of appendix is crushed with haemostat and the crushed area is tied with 2/0 silk ligrature.

· A cut is given above tie and appendix is removed and sent for histopathology analysis.

· The appendicular stump is inverted with a purse-string on the caecum.
