CONTROVERSIES
36. What are some of the anatomic issues related to inguinal hernias?
Show answer
At issue is the iliopubic tract, which is central to the Anson/McVay anatomic description of the inguinal area and featured in the McVay Cooper’s ligament repair. Although the McVay repair is used in England, the iliopubic tract is not referred to or described in English anatomic texts.

Michael E. Fenoglio M.D., Lawrence W. Norton M.D.
1. What symptoms suggest gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?
Show answer
Substernal burning after meals or at night, associated occasionally with regurgitation of gastric juices, is one symptom. Discomfort is relieved by standing or sitting. Dysphagia, a late complication of GERD, is caused by mucosal edema or stricture of the distal esophagus. However, no symptom is specific for GERD, and therapeutic decisions should not be made on symptoms alone.

Heart Transplantation
91 HEART TRANSPLANTATION
Daniel R. Meldrum M.D., Azad Raiesdana M.D., Jeffrey A. Breall M.D., John W. Brown M.D.
1. Who performed the first experimental heart-lung transplant?
Show answer
Alexis Carrel, a French-born American surgeon, developed the vascular techniques required for heart-lung transplantation and performed the first experimental heart-lung transplant in 1907. He transplanted the lungs, heart, aorta, and vena cava of a 1-week-old cat into the neck of a large adult cat. For devising the technique of vascular anastomosis and other outstanding accomplishments, Carrel received the Nobel Prize in 1912 (the first Nobel Prize awarded to a scientist working in an American laboratory).

Surgical Infectious Disease. Prophylaxis
PROPHYLAXIS
17. Should systemic antibiotic prophylaxis be used in elective colon resection?
Show answer
Yes, beyond any statistical shadow of a doubt. At least two dozen clinical trials have been carried out using placebo controls against a variety of antibiotics, principally those active against at least the anaerobic-predominant flora, and nearly all have shown a reduction in infectious complications in the antibiotic group. Never again should this point need repeating, and no patient should be placed at risk when systemic antibiotic prophylaxis has been established as the standard of care. No new clinical trials against placebo in this group of patients with known risk can be performed ethically given the confirmed risk reduction.
Other risk groups (e.g., cesarean section after membrane rupture) besides patients undergoing colon resection have been standardized by trials in large patient populations and have shown similar risk reduction. The benefit of prophylaxis has been demonstrated. In other groups of patients that cannot be standardized because of unusual contamination factors or unique factors of host resistance impairment, guidelines for rational prophylaxis should follow similar principles.

Show answer
The three most common mechanical causes are carcinoma (50%), volvulus (15%), and diverticular disease (10%). Extrinsic compression from metastatic carcinoma is another cause of obstruction. Less frequent causes include stricture, hernia, intussusception, benign tumor, and fecal impaction.

2. Internal blockage of the lumen by abnormal materials (obturation): bezoars, gallstone, worms, or foreign body (usually obstructs at the ileocecal valve)
3. Mural disease encroaching on the lumen (inflammatory bowel disease [5%]), fibrous stricture secondary to trauma, ischemia, or radiation, intussusception)
