Port-a-Cath

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO

👉A portacath or “port” provides intravenous access to a large vein in the body to deliver chemotherapy, blood products, antibiotics, and IV fluids.

👉Large veins are better for rapid infusion of high volumes or because some drugs, like cancer chemotherapies, can cause severe irritation if delivered to the smaller veins of the arms or legs or could lead to a chemical burn if they were to leak into surrounding tissues.

👉The portal refers to a reservoir implanted under the skin, usually in the upper chest below the collarbone.

👉To access the port, a narrow needle with is inserted into the port where the bump is, either with or without numbing the skin beforehand.

Kidney Stones and Hyperparathyroidism

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO

👉Patients with hyperparathyroidism may develop kidney stones or nephrocalcinosis (deposition of calcium salts in the renal parenchyma).

👉Kidney stones may be symptomatic (10% to 20% of patients) or silent and seen only on imaging tests.

Blood Supply of the Pancreas

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO

👉The pancreas derives a rich blood supply from both celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery, with collaterals between the two systems; that is why when angiography is done for bleeding as a complication of acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis or pancreatoduodenectomy both celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery should be evaluated.

Sensory Innervation of the Ear

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO
  • The innervation to the ear is one of the most complex in the body:
    • There are four cranial nerves and two upper cervical nerves that contribute to sensory innervation of the ear:
      • Cranial nerves:
        • V
        • VII
        • IX
        • X
      • Upper cervical nerves:
        • C2
        • C3
          • Though the sensory innervation to the ear may appear fairly well defined:
            • There is considerable overlap and ambiguity in the sensory distribution of these nerves

Essentially any pathology residing within the sensory net of cranial nerves V, VII, IX, and X and upper cervical nerves C2 and C3 can potentially cause pain referred to the ear
  • The mandibular division of CN V (V3):
    • Supplies the:
      • Tragus
      • Helical crus
      • Anterosuperior wall of the external auditory canal
      • Adjacent tympanic membrane
      • Temporomandibular joint
    • The auriculotemporal branch but also has sensory nerve fibers via the lingual, buccal, and inferior alveolar nerves:
      • Which serve to innervate the:
        • Oral cavity:
          • Floor of mouth, lower teeth, palate, mandible including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
        • The three mayor salivary glands

Primary and referred otalgia pathways of the mandibular nerve (V3). Cranial nerve V is the most frequent pathway for referred otalgia via the auriculotemporal branch (Nerve of Arnold) of the trigeminal nerve.
  • The facial nerve (VII) supplies the:
    • Posterior-inferior portion of the external ear canal
    • Adjacent tympanic membrane
      • The sensory distribution of the facial nerve is variable:
        • With an overlapping sensory distribution with the trigeminal nerve
      •  The seventh cranial nerve:
        • The posterior auricular nerve:
          • Serves to innervate the ear directly
        • The greater superficial petrosal nerve and the vidian nerve serve to supply the:
          • Nasal mucosa
          • Posterior ethmoid
          • Sphenoid sinuses
          • Soft palate

Primary and referred otalgia pathways of the facial nerve (VII). Cranial nerve VII produces referred otalgia via the auricular branch of the facial nerve. Bell palsy can present as ear pain, antecedent to facial paralysis.
  • The glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) supplies the:
    • Inner ear
    • Inner tympanic membrane
      • The tympanic nerve (Jacobson nerve, a branch of cranial nerve IX):
        • Directly innervates the ear but also has:
          • Pharyngeal, lingual, and tonsillar branches to supply the:
            • Posterior one-third portion of the tongue
            • Tonsillar fossa / pillars
            • Pharynx:
              • Inferior nasopharynx
            • Parapharyngeal space
            • Retropharyngeal space
            • Eustachian tube

Cranial nerve IX mediates otalgia via the tympanic nerve of Jacobson
  • The vagus nerve (X) supplies:
    • A similar distribution to CN IX:
      • But also innervates the concha
    • The vagus nerve supplies the:
      • Valleculae
      • Lingual, and laryngeal surfaces of the epiglottis
      • Supraglottic larynx
      • Pyriform sinuses
      • Thyroid gland
      • More distant sites within the thorax:
        • Including the tracheobronchial tree and esophagus
    • The Arnold nerve:
      • Directly innervates the ear
    • The internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve:
      • Innervate the larynx
    • The pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve:
      • Innervate the lower pharynx

Primary and referred otalgia pathways of the vagus nerve (X). Cranial nerve X is involved with otalgia via the auricular nerve of Arnold.
  • The upper cervical nerves (C2 and C3) innervate:
    • The skin in front of and behind the ear
    • The medial and lateral aspect of the auricle
    • Temporomadibular joint
      • The upper cervical nerves (C2 and C3) innervate a significant portion of the external ear, including the auricle, lobule, and the skin in front of and behind the external ear via the:
        • Great auricular nerve
        • Lesser occipital nerves

Breast Cancer Genetics

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO

👉Lifetime breast cancer risk is only 13% for identical twins of breast cancer patients compared to 9% for dizygotic twins.

👉Twin studies are important because they help us understand how far genetics will get us as we try to risk stratify populations.

👉Other twin studies have estimated that 12% to 30% of breast cancer is primarily genetic in origin.

👉Thus, only a minority of breast cancers are directly attributed to germline genetics and only 5% to 10% are thought to be due to inheritance of mutations in major autosomal dominant breast cancer predisposition genes.

Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica in Hyperparathyroidism

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO

👉An extreme form of parathyroid bone disease termed osteitis fibrosa cystica is characterised by significant loss of bone density, development of bone cysts and brown tumors (shown below), skeletal deformity, bone pain, and a propensity for pathologic fractures.

👉Fortunately, it is quite rarely seen these days.

Are Prophylactic Antibiotics Required Before Breast Surgery? Even if it is a Clean Case?

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO
👉The use of prophylactic antibiotics depends on:

  • The type of case (clean vs contaminated)
  • As well as patient specific variables such as the presence of a mechanical heart valve or other prosthesis, placement of a prosthesis, such as a tissue expander, and/or other variables.
  • 👉Prolonged prophylactic antibiotics are avoided due to concerns over promoting the incidence of multidrug resistant bacterial infections and because the risks of this strategy outweigh the benefits in reducing postoperative infections.
  • 👉Strong evidence supports a single dose of prophylactic antibiotics prior to breast surgery.
  • 👉There is no evidence that antibiotics improve wound healing aside from decreasing infection rates.
  • 👉There does not appear to be benefit from additional postoperative antibiotics.
  • 👉Patients undergoing re-excision lumpectomy appear to be at increased risk of infection and would also benefit from prophylactic antibiotics.

    The most appropriate posttherapy breast imaging surveillance after Breast Conservation Surgery is?

    Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO
    👉Women with a personal history of breast cancer are at an elevated lifetime risk of developing an ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) or a new primary cancer in the contralateral breast.
    👉Women with early-stage invasive breast cancer treated with breast-conserving therapy are reported to develop IBTR at a rate of approximately 0.5 to 1.0%/year.
    👉There are no randomized controlled trials reporting the accuracy or impact on breast cancer mortality of mammographic surveillance following breast cancer treatment.
    👉The sensitivity of screening mammography to detect IBTR ranges from 50% to 80% and to detect contralateral breast cancer, from 45% to 90%.
    👉Surveillance for breast cancer survivors is not a generally recognized indication for breast MRI.
    👉In fact, the most recent 2012 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Guidelines advise against breast MRI for routine breast cancer surveillance:

    • Instead advocate that the first postlumpectomy mammogram be done at least 6 months after completing radiation therapy, with subsequent mammograms obtained yearly thereafter.
    • Current National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines mirror the ASCO guidelines.
