MCQ Esophagus - GERD, Diaphragmatic hernia

  1. Types of congenital diaphragmatic hernia?
    • Bochdalek herniaQ - Posterolateral location
    • Morgagni herniaQ - anteromedial, retrosternal
  2. Pathogenesis of diaphragmatic hernia?
    failure of normal closure of the pleuroperitoneal canalQ
  3. Clinical triad of diaphragmatic hernia?
    Respiratory distress + Dextrocardia + Scaphoid abdomenQ•
  4. How is dipahgragmatic hernia repaired?
    Interrupted, nonabsorbable suturesQ
  5. Prognostic factors for congenital diaphragmatic hernia?
    • Pulmonary hypoplasia (Most important)
    • Pulmonary hypertension
  6. Which side of congenital diaphragmatic hernia has poor prognosis?
    Right sided defects have poor prognosisQ
  7. What is Larrey’s herniaQ?
    Morgagni hernias or Retrosternal hernias
  8. Which vessel may pass through Morgagni hernia?
    Superior epigastric vessels may pass through Morgagni spaceQ
  9. Most commonly involved viscus in Morgagni hernia?
    Transverse colonQ
  10. Treatment of Morgagni hernia?
    • Transabdominal routeQ is preferred choice.
    • Prosthetic mesh is generally required to repair the defectQ.
  11. Types of Hiatal hernia?
    • Type I - Sliding hiatal hernia (MC)Q
    • Type II - True paraesophageal herniaQ
    • Type III - Mixed paraesophageal hernia (I and II)Q
    • Type IV - Paraesophageal hernia containing other intraabdominal organsQ
  12. What is type I Hernia or sliding HH?
    • Upward displacement of the GE junction into the posterior mediastinumQ.
    • The stomach remains in its usual longitudinal alignmentQ
    • 95% of HHs is type I
  13. What is Type II Hernia?
    Normally positioned intraabdominal GE junction with upward herniation of the stomachQ alongside it.
  14. What is Type III Hernia?
    • Displacement of both the GE junction and a large portion of the stomach cephalad into the posterior mediastinumQ.
    • Of all PEHs, type III is the most commonQ•
  15. What is type IV Hernia?
    Esophageal hiatus has dilated to such an extent that the hernia sac also contains other organs such as the spleen, colon, or small bowelQ
  16. Degree of wrap in fundoplication?
    • Watson - 90-degree anterior fundoplicationQ
    • Dor - 180-degree anterior fundoplicationQ
    • Toupet - 180-degree posterior fundoplication subsequently modified to a 270-degree wrapQ
    • Belsey Mark IV - 270-degree anterior fundoplicationQ
    • Nissen - 360-degree fundoplicationQ
  17. What is Nissen’s fundoplication?
    • Left crus approach to a 360-degree wrap (Nissen fundoplication), which is the procedure of choice for GERD.
    • Left crus approach: Direct and early view of the short gastric vessels and spleenQ
  18. Classical triad of symptoms in GERD?
    • Retrosternal burning pain
    • Epigastric pain and
    • RegurgitationQ
  19. Factors Contributing to the High-pressure Zone in the Lower Esophagus?
    • • Intrinsic musculatureQ of the distal esophagus which are in a state of tonic contraction
    • • Sling fibers of the cardiaQ which are at the same anatomic depth of the circular muscle fibers of the esophagus but are oriented in a different direction
    • • DiaphragmQ: during inspiration the anteroposterior diameter of the crural opening is decreased, compressing the esophagus and increasing the measured pressure at the LES
    • • Transmitted pressureQ of the abdominal cavity
  20. Gold standard for diagnosing and quantifying GERD?
    24-hour pH testQ
  21. What is Demeester score?
    DeMeester Score is a global measure of esophageal acid exposure. A Demeester score > 14.72 indicates reflux.
  22. Gold standard Antireflux surgery for GERD?
    Laparoscopic Nissen’s fundoplication
  23. Principles of Nissen fundoplication?
    Secure crural closure and creation of a short (≤2 cm), 360-degree “floppy” fundoplication designed to most closely replicate the normal physiology of the gastroesophageal flap valveQ
  24. IOC for anatomical disorders of esophagus?
    Barium swallowQ
  25. IOC for motility disorders of esophagus?
    ManometryQ
  26. Most frequent complication of Nissen fundoplication?
    Pneumothorax
  27. What is Pathophysiology of achalasia cardia?
    Destruction of the nerves to LES is primary pathology and degeneration of neuromuscular function of the body of esophagus is secondaryQ
