Revision of Gastric Bypass Revision of Gastric Bypass: Surgical procedure to address failed gastric bypass by addressing gastro-gastric fistula, pouch dilation, anastomotic dilation. Gastro-gastric fistula is a communication between the proximal gastric pouch and the distal gastric remnant. It is a possible complication of gastric bypass. Pouch dilation can occur when the gastric band is too tight. Actions such as vomiting can cause the stomach to slip up through the band, causing the small pouch to dilate. Anastomotic dilation is where the connection between the stomach pouch and the intestine stretches out. Click here for: BARIATRIC PROCEDURES 4
Takedown of Vertical Band Vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG), or stomach stapling, is a restrictive operation for weight control. Both a band staples are used to create a small stomach pouch. The VBG operation is no longer performed. Obstruction with vomiting or weight gain frequently necessitates a takedown or reversal. Click here for: BARIATRIC PROCEDURES © 2013, Web. MD, LLC. All rights reserved. Takedown/reversal may involve removal of the band/staples and conversion to a gastric bypass. 5
Krames Stay. Well ~ 780 Township Line Road ~ Yardley, PA 19067 267 -685 -2500 Sleeve Gastrectomy Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical removal of a large portion of the stomach, following the greater curve. The open edges are then attached together to form a sleeve, or tube, with a banana shape. The procedure permanently reduces the size of the stomach. © Krames Stay. Well.

Appendiceal mass and Cancer An appendiceal mass or phlegmon is most often an infection, treated with antibiotics. Appendiceal cancer is a rare malignancy of the vermiform process/ appendix. Click here for: APPENDECTOMY MAIN PAGE 10
Krames Stay. Well ~ 780 Township Line Road ~ Yardley, PA 19067 267 -685 -2500 Appendectomy – Lap. vs. Open Laparoscopic appendectomy is similar to the open procedure, but instead of one 3 to 5 inch incision (laparotomy), several incisions, each half an inch long, are used (also called minimally invasive surgery). Through these small incisions, the surgeon inserts cameras and small instruments to perform the operation. © Krames Stay. Well. Image reprinted with permission.

Right/Transverse Hemicolectomy A Right/Transverse Hemicolectomy refers to the resection of the ascending colon. This includes the removal of any portion of the colon originating from the terminal ileum, including the cecum, to approximately the mid transverse colon. Other terms used in association with it: ascending colon, cecectomy, hepatic flexure and extended right colectomy. Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES 13
Left Hemicolectomy A Left Hemicolectomy involves removing the descending and/or sigmoid colon. Also included in our definition are any resections done starting from the left side of the transverse colon down through the descending and/or sigmoid colon. For the purposes of SCOAP, the anastomosis will be in the descending or sigmoid colon. Another term used could include the splenic flexure.

Ileocecectomy is the removal of the ileum and part of the colon. This procedure is usually performed in patients with ileal Crohn’s disease. Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES Image reprinted with permission 2018 15
Abdominal-Perineal (APR) Resection Abdomino-perineal Resection (APR) is a procedure that involves removal of the sigmoid, rectum and anus from a combined approach involving an incision in both the abdomen and the perineum. The anus is removed and the opening is sewn shut. APR is usually done for rectal cancer of the last third of the rectum, or Crohn’s disease. Sometimes a plastic surgeon will also be involved to provide a “flap” for the anal closure. This means that the patient will have a permanent colostomy.

Perineal Proctectomy is a surgical resection via a perineal incision with partial removal of the rectum and sigmoid and a coloanal anastomosis for prolapse or mass removal from the rectum. A perineal proctectomy is usually done for rectal prolapse, not for cancer. There are two techniques for performing perineal proctectomies: Altemeier Procedure or Delorme. Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES 18
Abdominal Proctectomy is a surgical resection of the rectum through an abdominal incision ONLY. It does not remove the anus or distal rectum. It is frequently associated with a colostomy. However, in some cases, a colo-anal anastomosis can be performed. Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES 19
Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) is a term used to describe the anatomical removal of the rectum including the intact mesentery (fat & lymph nodes) surrounding it. The surgeon or pathologist should describe an intact capsule upon inspection of the specimen. The blue arrow identifies the dentate line, which is where the anoderm transitions to the rectal mucosa. A temporary, or protecting, stoma may be in place for up to a few months after this operation.

Proctopexy Copyright 2001, Web MD Corporation Proctopexy is a surgical fixation of a prolapsed rectum, also known as rectopexy. Rectal prolapse Rectopexy (laparoscopic or open) is one of the procedures used to repair a rectal prolapse. In this surgery, the rectum is restored to its normal position in the pelvis, so that it no longer prolapses (protrudes) through the anus. Stitches may be used to secure the rectum, often with mesh. Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES 21
Additional (Staged) Procedure A staged procedure may refer to a planned return to the OR during the current admission in cases where the index operation was terminated prematurely due to patient instability. A second operation to complete the procedure would be safer, less morbid, and possibly have a lesser chance of an anastomotic leak. Other staged procedures are planned in the elective setting when protecting loop ileostomies are placed proximal to a high risk anastomosis. Examples of staged procedures: Done in the case of bowel ischemia or necrosis Done when there is so much edema present in the tissues that closure of the incision would in all probability lead to wound dehiscence. Frequently “wound vacs” are placed at this time. Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES 22
Lower Anterior Resection (LAR) A "low anterior resection, " or "LAR" is the removal of a portion of the sigmoid colon WITH a portion of/or the entire rectum. This is formally known as anterior resection/excision of the rectum, sigmoidectomy, or anterior resection (less precise). When a sigmoidectomy is followed by terminal colostomy and closure of the rectal stump, it is called a Hartmann operation. LAR is usually done for rectal cancer. LARs generally give a better quality of life than AP Resections and are the preferred treatment for rectal cancer if surgically feasible. In patients with diverticulitis, LAR is done to diminish the potential for recurrence (the sigmoid has diverticula, the rectum does not). The anastomosis is usually at the recto-sigmoid junction or in the first 2/3 of the rectum.

Sigmoid Colectomy Removal of the sigmoid colon also called a sigmoid colectomy and is just the removal of the sigmoid colon. Diverticular disease is one of the most common indicators for sigmoid colectomy. The descending colon is then connected to the lower Sigmold colon or rectosigmold junction.

Total Colectomies Krames Stay. Well ~ 780 Township Line Road ~ Yardley, PA 19067 267 -6852500 Total Abdominal Colectomy (TAC) is the removal of the entire colon (ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid). In urgent procedures, a temporary protective ileostomy is frequently done. In some cases the ileum is anastomosed(connected)to the rectum. A TAC is used frequently with ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, or Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. © Krames Stay. Well. Image reprinted with permission. Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES 25
Stoma Takedown Protecting or diverting stomas are placed proximal to high risk anastomosis. They are typically “taken down” after an appropriate convalescence and healing. Stoma Takedown refers to the rejoining or reversal of a temporary/protective stoma and may include a colon resection. Upon completion, bowel continuity is restored. For the purposes of SCOAP, if the procedure is an ileostomy takedown it must have an ileocolonic, ileorectal, or ileoanal anastomosis. After a Hartmann procedure, the stoma is closed with a colorectal anastomosis. SCOAP does not capture ileum to ileum takedowns (loop ileostomy closure). Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES 26

About Pouches (Reservoirs) ileoanal pouch (reservoir) also known as ileal-pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) A surgical treatment option for chronic ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, and familial polyposis patients who need to have their large intestine (colon) removed. Gives the patient control of bowel movements, and does not require a permanent ileostomy. An internal pouch (reservoir) formed of small intestine. This pouch provides a storage place for stool in the absence of the large intestine. Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES Arrow down for further slides 28
About Pouches, Continued This procedure can be performed in one, two, or three stages, but it is most often done in two stages, usually 2 -3 months apart. Stage 1 removes the entire large bowel and the rectum, but leaves the anal sphincter muscles intact. A reservoir or “pouch” is made out of small intestine and is then connected to the anus. A temporary ileostomy is made. An ileostomy is a surgically created opening between the small bowel and the skin of the abdomen through which stool and gas are passed. This temporary ileostomy diverts the stool, protecting the pouch/reservoir while it heals. In Stage 2, the ileostomy is closed. In a 3 -stage procedure, Stage 1 is an abdominal colectomy. Stage 2 is a ileal J-pouch anal anastomosis. Stage 3 is an ileostomy takedown. Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES Arrow down for further slides 29
Ileoanal Pouch (Reservoir) Surgery Stage 1: Ileoanal Pouch (Reservoir) Surgery 1. Large intestine (colon) is removed 2. Lining of the rectum is removed but the sphincter mechanism is saved A temporary loop ileostomy is created to “detour” the contents of the small intestine so the newly created reservoir may heal.

Ileoanal Pouch (Reservoir) Surgery, Continued Stage 2: Gastrointestinal tract AFTER Ileoanal Pouch (Reservoir) Surgery (figure B) 1. Approximately 2 -3 months after the 1 st surgery, the ileostomy is closed. 2. Food now enters the mouth, into the stomach, and through the small intestine into the reservoir. 3. Waste is stored in the reservoir until the need to have a bowel movement. 4. Stool is then passed through the pouch and anus. Click here for: COLO-RECTAL PROCEDURES Arrow down for further slides 31
Ileal Pouch (Reservoir) Types The J, S, and W pouches (reservoirs) are the most commons types of pouches used.

Laparoscopic vs. Laparotomy Krames Stay. Well ~ 780 Township Line Road ~ Yardley, PA 19067 267685 -2500 A laparotomy is a surgical incision (open) into the abdominal cavity. Lap-assisted, also known as handassisted procedures, utilize both laparoscopic instrumentation and open techniques. Laparoscopic Surgery (also called minimally invasive surgery) is an surgical technique in which operations in the abdomen are performed through small incisions as opposed to the larger incisions needed for laparotomy. There will always be a small extraction incision. © Krames Stay. Well. Image reprinted with permission.

Ostomies In an -ostomy, the healthy end of the colon or intestine is sutured to the abdominal wall, creating a stoma through which feces is excreted. An -ostomy is sometimes temporary, in order to give another part of the colon or intestine time to heal.

Click here for: GENERAL SCOAP PROCEDURES SLIDE 38
Lysis of Adhesions are scars that form within the body, typically after surgery as part of the healing process Lysis refers to separation or cutting of adhesions. Lysis of adhesions is a procedure used to treat intestinal obstruction due to scar tissue related to previous operations. The most common abdominal operations that result in adhesions are gynecologic and gastrointestinal. If adhesions form on the intestines, the tissue is more than likely to get stuck to other tissue, muscle, organ and/or another portion of itself to create a bowel obstruction. Click here for: SBO PROCEDURE SLIDE 39
Small Bowel Bypass The illustration shows a small bowel to transverse colon bypass for treatment of an obstructed terminal ileum due to radiation. Image reprinted with permission One treatment for small bowel obstruction is a small bowel bypass. If the obstructing adhesions are too dense to repair the surgeon may opt to bypass the obstruction by connecting the bowel just proximal to the obstruction to normal decompressed bowel distal to the obstruction. Click here for: SBO PROCEDURE SLIDE 40
Resection with stoma In small bowel resection operation, the small intestine will be clamped above and below the diseased section. This section will be cut free and removed. If there is enough healthy intestine left, the free ends of the intestine may be joined together. Otherwise, a permanent or temporary ileostomy is created. An ileostomy is an opening in the abdomen wall called a stoma. The proximal (upstream) end of the small intestine is attached to the stoma opening in the abdominal wall. Click here for: SBO PROCEDURE SLIDE 41
Anti-adhesion barrier For example, Seprafilm is a mechanical bioresorbable adhesion barrier that is applied to adhesiogenic tissues before surgical closure. It is used to reduce the risk of forming postoperative adhesions in patients undergoing abdominal or pelvic laparotomy. Click here for: SBO PROCEDURE SLIDE 42
