Dumping Syndrome

Q) Late dumping syndrome is due to 

a) Excessive release of insulin

b) Food bolus in jejunum

c) Release of serotonin

d) Local enteric reflexes


Answer

a, Excessive release of Insulin 

Dumping syndrome are most common after billroth II gastrectomy followed by BI and Truncal vagotomy and gastro jejunostomy.

Dumping can occur 30 mins after food, (early dumping) or 2 hours after eating (late dumping). Early dumping has GI symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, epigastric fullness, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

Early dumping occurs due to rapid emptying of chyme in jejunum. This hyperosmolar fluid draws water from extracellular compartment to the lumen of small intestine causing intestinal distension and autonomic changes.Serotonin, bradykinin-like substances, neurotensin, and enteroglucagon are involved in early dumping.

Late dumping syndrome  has more cardiovascular symptoms such as palpitations, light headedness, dizziness, tachycardia, diaphoresis, flushing and blurred vision.

It occurs due to delivery of carbohydrates into jejunum, their absorption causes hyperglycemia and insulin release. Excessive insulin release leads to development of symptoms.

Treatment 

  1. Diet - Avoid carbohydrates, frequent small meals of protein and fat and separate liquids from solids
  2. surgery Conversion to Roux en Y

Borrmann’s classification for ca stomach

Q) According to Borrmann's Classification of Ca stomach Type II is?

a) Fungating

b) Polypoid

c) Ulcerative

d) Infiltrative

Borrmann’s pathologic classification of gastric cancer is  based on gross appearance.

Developed in 1926

Gastric carcinoma is divided into 5 types according to this classification

Ans  c

Ulcerative with elevated borders

Borrmann’s classification is for advanced gastric tumors. 

It is useful to distinguish between advanced and early gastric tumors because in advanced tumors neo adjuvant therapy improves over all survival.


The gross appearance of advanced gastric carcinomas can be divided into

Type I for polypoid growth or fungating 

Type II for Ulcerated with elevated borders

Type III for ulcerating with invasion of wall

Type IV for diffusely infiltrating growth which is also referred to as linitis plastica 

Type V can not be classified

 

Surgical Gastro NEET type Exam Questions

a) Pre pyloric

b) Ulcer on body of stomach combined with duodenum

c) High on lesser curvature

d) Ulcer near the antrum


Devices for Surgeons


Answer b

Type II gastric ulcers, as described by Johnson, refer to:

b) Ulcer on body of stomach combined with duodenum

Type II ulcers are characterized by the presence of both gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers.

In Johnson’s classification of peptic ulcers, Type II gastric ulcers are those that occur in both the stomach and the duodenum simultaneously. Here are the details:

  • Location: The gastric ulcer typically occurs in the body of the stomach, usually on the lesser curvature, while the duodenal ulcer is found in the first part of the duodenum.
  • Pathophysiology: This type of ulcer is associated with increased gastric acid secretion, which contributes to the development of both gastric and duodenal ulcers. The co-occurrence is often due to the same underlying factors like Helicobacter pylori infection or hyperacidity.

Answer a

a) Non bleeding vessel IIA - Out of the choices given

Bleeding peptic ulcer is mostly from the posterior surface of the lesion and can be sometimes lethal

Forrest classification is used to grade the risk of re bleeding in peptic ulcers.

According to the stigmata of recent bleed, the chances of re bleed increase.

Endoscopic appearance of bleeding peptic ulcer classification

 Forrest Classification

Ia - Active Spurting                   Highest 90% chance of acute bleeding peptic ulcer ICD 10

Ib-  Active oozing

IIa Non bleeding vessel             50% chance of re bleed

IIB Adherent clot

IIC Flat Pigmented spot

III Clean based ulcer

Q) How to treat a bleeding peptic ulcer? Bleeding gastric ulcer management?

Steps to manage a bleeding peptic ulcer

  1. Secure two large bore IV lines for fluid and blood products. Evaluate for coagulopathy
  2. Simultaneous evaluation for source of bleeding and history. Important causes to rule out are chronic liver disease, NSAID use etc
  3.  Simultaneous IV PPI infusion
  4. Endoscopic control  of bleeding peptic ulcer- Thermal coagulation, hemoclips, Adrenaline injections etc
  5. Operative procedure For  Duodenum bleed - Longitudanally opening the anterior wall of duodenum and 3 point suture ligation
  6. For Gatric ulcer bleeding - depends on the site of ulcer and might require Antrectomy/Partial gastrectomy
