  • Hybrid Procedure Offers a Less Invasive Alternative to Colectomy
    The better way to get better Hybrid procedure offers a less invasive alternative to colectomy Insufflation gas provides important advantage The colonoscopy-laparoscopy procedure is made possible through the combined skills of the gastroenterologist and laparoscopic surgeon, and the use of CO2 rather than ambient air for insufflation — the introduction of gas into the colon to improve visibility. CO2 is more quickly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and results in less bowel distension, giving the laparoscopic surgeon a better field of vision within the abdominal cavity. © Copyright Olympus.

L e i g h t o n , M D , F A C G 4 Bleeding from the small intestine remains a relatively uncommon event, accounting for ~5–10% of all patients presenting with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Given advances in small bowel imaging with video capsule endoscopy (VCE), deep enteroscopy, and radiographic imaging, the cause of bleeding in the small bowel can now be identifi ed in most patients. The term small bowel bleeding is therefore proposed as a replacement for the previous classifi cation of obscure GI bleeding (OGIB). We recommend that the term OGIB should be reserved for patients in whom a source of bleeding cannot be identifi ed anywhere in the GI tract. A source of small bowel bleeding should be considered in patients with GI bleeding after performance of a normal upper and lower endoscopic examination. Second-look examinations using upper endoscopy, push enteroscopy, and/or colonoscopy can be performed if indicated before small bowel evaluation. VCE should be considered a fi rst-line procedure for small bowel investigation. Any method of deep enteroscopy can be used when endoscopic evaluation and therapy are required.

    Short Bowel (Gut) Syndrome LaTasha Henry February 25th, 2016 Learning Objectives • Define SBS • Normal function of small bowel • Clinical Manifestation and Diagnosis • Management • Updates Basic Definition • A malabsorption disorder caused by the surgical removal of the small intestine, or rarely it is due to the complete dysfunction of a large segment of bowel. • Most cases are acquired, although some children are born with a congenital short bowel. Intestinal Failure • SBS is the most common cause of intestinal failure, the state in which an individual’s GI function is inadequate to maintain his/her nutrient and hydration status w/o intravenous or enteral supplementation. • In addition to SBS, diseases or congenital defects that cause severe malabsorption, bowel obstruction, and dysmotility (eg, pseudo- obstruction) are causes of intestinal failure. Causes of SBS • surgical resection for Crohn’s disease • Malignancy • Radiation • vascular insufficiency • necrotizing enterocolitis (pediatric) • congenital intestinal anomalies such as atresias or gastroschisis (pediatric) Length as a Determinant of Intestinal Function • The length of the small intestine is an important determinant of intestinal function • Infant normal length is approximately 125 cm at the start of the third trimester of gestation and 250 cm at term • <75 cm are at risk for SBS • Adult normal length is approximately 400 cm • Adults with residual small intestine of less than 180 cm are at risk for developing SBS; those with less than 60 cm of small intestine (but with a

CASTILLO Department of Pediatrics [M.D., S.E.G., R.F., R.O.C.], Department of Pathology [B.H.H.], and the Digestive Disease Center [R.O.C.], Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, U.S.A.; and Department of Pediatrics, Huddinge Hospital, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden [K.A.D.] ABSTRACT The residual small bowel undergoes profound adaptive alter- alterations in processing of digestive hydrolases of the distal ations after surgical resection. GH is considered to have a role in intestine, indicating that GH may have region-specific effects on regulation of these adaptive changes, but its precise role is small intestinal function. We conclude that GH is required for the unknown. We investigated the role of GH by studying the normal expression of specific components of the adaptive re- response to intestinal resection in rats with isolated GH defi- sponse to massive small intestinal resection, but not for all ciency. Spontaneous dwarf rats, a strain of rats with congenital aspects. The aspects that require GH appear to involve protein isolated GH deficiency, underwent 60% resection of the small synthesis and processing.

  • Esophageal Reconstruction Using a Pedicled Jejunum with Microvascular Augmentation
    Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2011; 17: 103–109 Review Esophageal Reconstruction Using a Pedicled Jejunum with Microvascular Augmentation Takushi Yasuda, MD and Hitoshi Shiozaki, MD The pedicled colon segment is widely accepted as a substitute to the gastric tube in esopha- geal reconstruction of cases where the stomach is not available. The usefulness of reconstruc- tion with a pedicled jejunum has also been reported in recent years. In order to make a long jejunal graft, at least the second and third jejunal vessels have to be severed. However, this leads to a decrease of circulation in the pedicled jejunum. This poor circulation was primar- ily responsible for the high rates of gangrene and mortality (22.2% and 46.5%, respectively) in the beginnings of jejunal reconstruction. Advances in microsurgery have now enabled surgeons to overcome these disadvantages, as a result, both the rates of gangrene and mor- tality have decreased to almost zero since the addition of microvascular anastomosis with the jejunal vessels and the internal thoracic vessels. At present, the reconstruction using a pedi- cled jejunum is a safe operation that provides such advantages as a low incidence of intrinsic disease, more active transport of food, and a lower rate of regurgitation by peristalsis, com- pared with the reconstruction using the pedicled colon. The disadvantage of the procedure is the relatively high rate of anastomotic leakage (11.1% to 19.2%). Improvements in the surgi- cal procedures to overcome this disadvantage are, therefore, needed before it can be recom- mended without any reservations. Key words: esophageal reconstruction, jejunum, microvascular anastomosis, complication Introduction stomach is necessary.

PEARSE, I. COULLING, B. WEAVERS, AND S. FRIESEN' From the Department of Histochemistry, Royal Postgraduate Medical School, London SUMMARY Thirty specimens of stomach, duodenum, and jejunum, removed at operation, were examined by optical microscopical, cytochemical, and electron microscopical techniques. The overall distribution of four types of endocrine polypeptide cell in the stomach, and three in the intestine, was determined. The seven cell types are described by names and letters belonging to a scheme for nomenclature agreed upon at the 1969 Wiesbaden conference o* gastrointestinal hormones. The gastrin-secreting G cell was the only cell for which firm identification with a known hormone was possible. Although there was wide variation in the distribution of the various cells, from one case to another, striking differences were never- theless observable, with respect to the G cell, between antra from carcinoma and from ulcer cases. http://gut.bmj.com/ This study was undertaken with a view to estab- tive shorthand terminology.
