Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

84
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

886
The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury.  The nails must be short and clean, without nail...

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

237
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps

382
Tracheostomy suctioning is a critical procedure healthcare professionals perform to maintain a patent airway in patients with a tracheostomy tube. This procedure is necessary when secretions accumulate in the airway, causing respiratory distress. Here is a step-wise procedural guide for performing tracheostomy suctioning using an open system.
Equipment Required
First, gather all necessary equipment: a sterile suction catheter, a sterile disposable container, sterile gloves, a towel or...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
  • HS manifests as painful abscesses, nodules, and tunnels, primarily in skinfold areas.
  • Effective management of HS requires diverse procedural approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the spectrum of surgical and procedural interventions for hidradenitis suppurativa.
  • To differentiate treatment strategies based on lesion characteristics and chronicity.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established and emerging procedures for hidradenitis suppurativa.
  • Categorization of treatments for acute versus chronic or extensive disease.
  • Inclusion of surgical techniques like incision and drainage, deroofing, and excision.
  • Mention of adjunctive therapies including botulinum toxin, cryoinsufflation, and energy-based devices.

Main Results:

  • Intralesional steroids and incision/drainage are suitable for acute, discrete lesions.
  • Deroofing and excision are effective for persistent, recurrent, or widespread HS.
  • Reconstructive options can follow extensive excisions.
  • Novel techniques like botulinum toxin and laser modifications show promise.

Conclusions:

  • A range of procedural options exist for managing hidradenitis suppurativa.
  • Treatment selection depends on the specific presentation and severity of HS.
  • Surgical interventions, alongside newer modalities, offer therapeutic pathways for HS patients.
