Surgical Technology

A double fold of peritoneum attached to the stomach

Only organ that is both an endorcine and exocrine gland, dumps into the duodenum via the duct of Wirsung, which turns into the duct of Santorini

Serous membrane that lines the abdominal and pelvic walls and hold the viscera in place

Vertical muscle of the abdominal wall

A plane, not a space, behind the peritoneum

Duodenum, ileum, jejunum

The largest mass of lymphatic tissue in the upper left abdominal quadrant

Parasympathetic nerve that innervates the stomach

Appendix is severed from its attachement at the cecum and removed

Removal of gallbladder

Removal of the entire or diseased part of the colon

Colectomy

Surgically created openeing from a portion of the colon to the exterior skin through the abdominal wall

Excision of a part of the esophagus

Surgically opening the abdominal wall and entering the peritoneal cavity

Removal of the lower half to 2 thirds of the stomach with continuity reestablished by several methods

Creation of a small proximal gastric pouch by stapling the duodenum and bypassing the distal end of the stomach with a gastrojejunostomy

Roux-en-Y

Subtotal gastrectomy and gastroduodenostomy, in which the remaining portion of the stomach is anastomosed to the duodenum

Subtotal gastrectomy and gastrojejunotomy in which the remaining portion of the stomach is anastomosed to the jejunum

Creates a fistula to introduce food into the stomach, inserting a PEG catheter into the stomach with the aid of a fiberoptic gastroscope

Externalization through the abdominal wall of the proximal end of the transected ileum; performed in conjunction with a total colostomy

Partial removal of the liver

• Wrapping the proximal stomach around the gastroensophageal junction to prevent esophageal reflux
• Esophageal hiatal herniorrhaphy

Excision of one or more of the parathyroid glands

excesionof a cyst with its sinus tracts in the sacrococcygeal region

Incision through the pyloric muscle to release a stenosis or stricture

Removal of the spleen

Removal of the thyroid gland

Inciscing the trachea to insert a tube through which the patient breathes

Incision of the trachea

Resection of portions of the vagus nerve near the stomach at the level of the esophagus

Radical removal of the head of the pancreas, the entire duodenum, a portion of the jejunum, the distal third of the stomach, and the lower half of the common bile duct with reconstruction utilizing anastomosis of biliary-intestinal continuity.

pancreaticoduodenectomy

Examination of the mucosa of the anal canal

Using radiology to assess stones in the biliary tract

Examination of the common bile duct

Noninvasive diagnostic method of viewing body tissue that uses an x-ray beam in conjunction with a computer

Examination of the esophagus and stomach and the duodenum

Examination of the esophagus

Uses electro-magnetic energy to provide soft-tissue images

Suctioning blood, body fluids, and tissue fluids

Examination of the mucosa of the rectum and anal canal

Examination of the sigmoid colon and rectum, including removal of polyps and tissue specimens

Outlines the shape of tissues and organs to identify structural defects

Penrose

Removal of the entire breast, all axillary lymph nodes are resected; the major pectoralis muscle is left in place; the minor pectoralis muscle may or may not be resected

Removal of the entire breast with axillary lymph nodes, pectoral muscles, and all fat, fascia and adjacent tissues

Removal of the entire breast without the lymph nodes or muslce dissection

Removal of all breast tissue with the overlying skin and nipple left intact

Congenital absence of bile ducts

Gall stones

Removal of the gallbladder

Establishing an opening into the gallbladder to permit drainage of the organ and removal of stones

Incision of the common bile duct for exploration and removal of stones

Anastomosis between the gallbladder and the duodenum

Anastomosis between the gallbladder and the jejunum

Side to side or end to end anastomosis between the duodenum and the common bile duct

Side to side or end to end anastomosis between the jejunum and the common bile duct

Partial division of the sphincter of Oddi and exploration of the distal end of the common bile duct

The creation of a pouch from the ileum to collect intestinal contaents which drain into a bag worn on the abdomen

The removal of the diseased portions of the esophagus and stomach and the anastomosis of the remaining parts

Removal of a herniation in the esophageal wall

Incision through pyloric muscle to release a stenosis or stricture

Enlargement of the pyloric opening

Creation of a small proximal gastric pouch by stapling the duodenum and bypassing the distal end of the stomach with a gastrojejunostomy

• Deep epigastric vessels laterally
• Inguinal ligament inferiorly
• Rectus abdominis muscle medially

Protrusions of intestine through defects in the abdominal wall

Protrudes from the groin, below the inguinal ligament into the thigh

Protrusion of a portion of the stomach through the opening for the esophagus

Contents are trapped in the extraabdominal sac and cannot be returned to the normal cavity

Protrusion from a surgical scar

Contents of the hernial sac can be returned to the normal intra-abdominal position

Direct or indirect hernias represent attenuations or tears in the transversal fascia

Contents are trapped in the extra-abdominal sac, the blood supply is cut off, and will eventually undergo necrosis

Small fascial defects around the naval

Any hernia through the abdominal wall; can appear after previous operations (incisional) or spontaneously

Excision of one or more of the parathyroid glands up to 3 1/2 glands may be removed if all glands appear to be diseased.

Excision of enlarged goiter into the substernal and intrathoracic regions which may be causing tracheal obstruction
