Types of hernia

Hernia - a protrusion of tissue of organ through an abnormal opening

Direct Inguinal hernia - hernia that results from weakness in the inguinal floor

Incisional hernia - postoperative herniation tissue through a surgical incision going on after the hearing process

Indirect inguinal hernia- Hernia that protrudes into the membranous Sac of the spermatic cord -usually because of a congenital defect in the abdominal wall

Ventral hernia - Weakness in the abdominal wall , results in protrusion of abdominal visceral against the peritoneum and abdominal fascia

Excisional biopsy - Removal of a wired localize tissue mass for pathologic examination

Breast procedure

Modified radical mastectomy- entire breast is removed and sentinel node biopsy or axillary dissection is performed

Lumpectomy -Removal of breast mass, ensuring margins are completely free of cancer, axillary node . Dissection may be performed at the same time.

Excisional Biopsy - Removal of a wired localized tissue mask from pathologic examination

Wire localization -Procedures, in which a hook wire devices, inserted into a breast mass using guided imagery

Subcutaneous Mastectomy -Procedure that removes the breast for leaving the skin nipple and areola intact

Sentinel lymph node biopsy -Skin sparing procedure in which one or more-lymph nodes are removed to Determine whether a tumor has metastasized size; nodes are identified by blue dye or tech 99.

Radical mastectomy -The entire breast, all axillary nodes, and chest wall muscles are remove

Simple mastectomy-Procedure that removes breast tissue, including the skin nipple, and areola, The axillary lymph nodes are not removed

Surgical technique used for the gastrointestinal

Resection - a procedure in which a section of an organ is divided or removed

Anastomose- a procedure in which two hollow structures are joined surgically

Division- in surgery , a procedure in which one of the section of tissue is cut away from another . This differs from resection , in which a portion of the organ removed

Cross- contamination- to place one or more clamps at a right angle to a tube or vessel

Double -clamp - to place two clamps over a section of tissue to prevent bleeding when the tissue is severed

Mobilization - the freeing up of tissue from it’s attachments before anastomosis or resection

Clamp and divide - to be both double clamp and divide tissue , bc the purpose of the clamps is to prevent bleeding when, the tissue inside the jaws of the clamp must be sealed (esu) with suture tied
