Upper GI Surgical Secrets Part 2 Dr Anthony Wijaya Morriston Hospital SwanseaPreviously on Upper GI Secrets.. What Upper GI Surgeons do..? Bypassing Symptomatic Bariatric (weight Anatomical blockages relief loss) surgery reconstructionCASE – EPIGASTRIC PAIN Mrs Zainab, 47, presented with epigastric pain that woke her up in the early hours of the morning. This pain is worse during Ramadhan when she is fasting, and noted that the pain is gone shortly after she break her fast. After referring her for the gold standard investigation, the doctor explained that this disease is commonly caused by a particular bacteria, which would respond to a particular treatment regime. Mrs Zainab is allergic to penicillin. 1.What is the gold standard of investigation for Mrs Zainab? 2.What type of bacteria is the doctor referring to? 3.What selection of drugs would be a suitable treatment for Mrs Zainab?CASE 8 – EPIGASTRIC PAIN Mrs Zainab was diagnosed with a posteriorly sited duodenal ulcer with ongoing pain every two weeks. She has returned to discuss other options, including surgery abroad in Turkey as she is worried of a particular complication that she read online. You explained to her that surgical options are rarely done nowadays, but mainly focuses on the removal of a particular nerve to reduce acid secretion. You close the consultation by prescribing her long-term PPI. 4. In the event of a perforated duodenal ulcer, which blood vessel would likely be affected? 5. What nerve is being referred to in the surgical treatment?CASE 8 – EPIGASTRIC PAIN Mrs Zainab was diagnosed with a posteriorly sited duodenal ulcer with ongoing pain every two weeks.

Ligament of Treitz (Suspensory muscles of duodenum)SBA - EMBRYOLOGY Embryological transition from foregut to midgut occurs in the duodenum, which anatomical landmark demonstrate this embryological transition from foregut to midgut? A. Duodenal cap (ampulla) B. Minor duodenal papilla C. Major duodenal papilla D. Hepato-pancreatic ampulla E. Ligament of Treitz (Suspensory muscles of duodenum)EMBRYOLOGY Gut develops from primitive endodermal tube 3 parts: foregut, midgut, hindgut • Foregut – extends to entry of bile duct to duodenum th • Starts dividing into oesophagus and larynx by 4 week  failure to do so  atresia/trachea-oesophageal fistula (TOF). • Foregut then dilates to become stomach, then rotates forming the lesser sac. Vagus nerve rotates with stomach • As stomach rotates to the left, duodenum swings to the right, fusing its mesentery with the peritoneum of posterior abdominal wall. (all except first inch are retroperitoneal) • Malrotation occurs when the sequence described above fails to occur or is incomplete. What we covered today..
