Answers :


1.c
In Familial Juvenile polyposis there are associated abnormalities in 20% of cases which include:

*Malrotation
*Hydrocephalus
*Cardiac lesions
*Mesenteric lymphangioma
*Meckel's Diverticulum
Ref: Sabiston 17 th page 1452 .

2. a
Lynch Syndrome is associated with cancers of :

-Endometrium and ovary
-Stomach and small intestine
-Pancreas
-Renal pelvis and ureters
-Sebaceous carcinoma
Ref: Sabiston 17th page 1452.

3. c
FAP is associated with malignancy of colon.

Rare tumors associated with it are :
-Medulloblastomas
-Glioma
-Liver
-Adrenal
-Thyroid
Ref:Sabiston 17th page 1452

4. c
HNPCC is associated with mutations of MMR (Mismatch Repair) genes and not APC gene which is mutated in FAP.
Sabistion 17th 1453

5. a
*Lignin is a non carbohydrate component of plants which is not fermented by colonic bacteria. It attracts water producing bulk.
*Lignin is used to treat constipation.
*Cellulose is partly fermented
*Pectin is completely fermented and used to treat diarrhea.

6 .c
-Carcinoma of the colon afflicts patients with ulcerative colitis 7 to 30 times more frequently than it does the general population.
-The risk of colon cancer in ulcerative colitis is related to two factors:
(1) duration of the colitis, and
(2) extent of colonic involvement.

-The risk of colon cancer for patients who have had the disease less than 10 years is low, but this risk steadily increases. The cancer risk for patients who have had disease activity for 10 to 20 years is 23 times that of the general population, while a disease duration of more than 20 years is associated with a cancer risk 32 times greater than that of the general population. The extent of colonic involvement in colitis also influences the risk of cancer. The incidence of cancer when ulcerative colitis is limited to the rectum or to the left side of the colon is much lower than when ulcerative colitis involves the entire colon.

The colonic malignancy associated with ulcerative colitis is generally an adenocarcinoma evenly scattered throughout the colon. The adenocarcinoma is often flatter than cancers in the general population and has fewer overhanging margins. It is generally considered extremely aggressive.

7. a
-Total proctocolectomy with brooke's ileostomy removes almost all of the diseased segment.
-IRA and IPAA leave behind rectal mucosa which may or may not be diseased

8) d
Carotene, Vit C and Calcium reduce the risk of colonic malignancy

58 - Risk factors for Oesophageal Carcinoma

Factors Associated with Pathogenesis of Esophageal Cancer

Factor
Squamous Cell Cancer
Adenocarcinoma
Smoking
+++
+
Alcohol consumption
+++

Hot beverages
+

N-nitroso compounds (e.g., pickled vegetables)
+

Betel nut chewing
+

Maté drinking
+

Deficiencies of green vegetables and vitamins
+

Low socioeconomic class
+

Fungal toxin or virus
+

History of radiation to the mediastinum
+
+
Lye corrosive stricture
+

History of aerodigestive malignancy
+++

Plummer-Vinson syndrome
+

Obesity

++
Achalasia
+

Gastroesophageal reflux

+++
Barrett's esophagus

++++


*Observe that Adenocarcinoma is associated with only 5 of all the factors listed above. They are Barrett's esophagus, GERD, Obesity, Smoking and radiation to the mediastinum.
*Squamous cell cancer of esophagus is not associated with Obesity, GERD and Barrett's esophagus.
*The most common location of squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus is the middle and lower third of esophagus.
*The most common location of adenocarcinoma of esophagus is the lower third of the esophagus.
*The most common type of esophageal carcinoma in WEST is adenocarcinoma, which is on the rise recently.
*The most common type of esophageal carcinoma in INDIA and ASIA is squamous cell carcinoma. (reasons being less incidence of GERD, obesity and barrett's esophagus in asian population when compared to the west and high incidence of H.PYLORI, which is thought to be protective against adenocarcinoma; in asian population. )

57 - Surgery mock test 2

Q1. What is not true regarding caustic injuries to the esophagus?

a) Acid injury causes coagulative necrosis
b) Alkali injury causes liquifactive necrosis
c) Acid burns of esophagus are more destructive than alkali burns
d) Endoscopy should be done urgently

Q2. Which of the following dyes are not used in chromoendoscopy?

a) Potassium Iodide
b) Congo Red
c) Methylene blue
d) Cresyl Violet

Q3. Which of the following is not an indication for surgery in GERD?
a) Young Age with symptoms controlled on proton pump inhibitors.
b) Progressive respiratory symptoms
c) Barrett's oesophagus
d) Hiatus hernia with symptoms controlled on medicines

Q 4. Which of the following conditions in GERD have the worst response after Surgery, (Fundoplication)?
a) Atypical GERD symptoms
b) Patients who achieve symptomatic pain relief with PPIs
c) Classical GERD symptoms
d) Positive 24 hr ph study

Answers:

1. c
Injury by acids produce coagulative necrosis and form a barrier to prevent further damage. Liquifactive necrosis is produced by Alkali. Injury by alkali agents is more harmful than acids. Endoscopy is recommended early to stage the inujry. Endoscopy should be avoided from 4-14 days as this is the time when is esophagus is more prone for perforations.
Schakelford surgery of alimentary canal Volume 6th Section 1 page 541

2. b
In Chromoendoscopy various dyes are used to identify the cells lining the oesophagus. These dyes stain the cells that absorb them or they accumulate in the mucosal crevices to enhance the architectural framework.
*Congo red is not used in endoscopy. I t is a dye that was used to test for the completeness of vagotomy.
*Potassium Iodide -- absorbed by squamous epithelium and stains it brown. It identifies early neoplasm
*Methylene blue absorbed by intestinal type of cells
*Cresyl violet stains columnar cells purple.

3. d
22-50% of patients with Gastroesophageal disease (GERD) develop complications. The aim of management in these patients is to identify those who require surgery for definitive management
These include
i) Anatomical and physiological markers of severe disease like defective lower oesophageal sphincter, poor peristalsis, large hiatal hernia and bile reflux
ii) Severe erosive esophagitis
iii) Barrett's oesophagus
iv) young age
v) Progressive respiratory symptoms

Hiatus hernia is seen in upto 80% of patients with GERD and mere presence of hernia is no indication for surgery.

4. a
The best response to ANTIREFLUX SURGERY eg Nissen's fundoplication is seen when there is demonstrable acid reflux from the stomach to the oesophagus (most commonly due to deficient lower oesophageal sphincter).
98% response can be seen who have symptomatic relief with PPI s (acid reduction), typical symptoms of GERD such as heartburn, regurgitation and dysphagia and positive 24 hr ph monitoring studies. Patients with atypical GERD symptoms such as asthma, chough, wheeze etc are benefited less after Fundoplication.
