Gastrectomy
Articles and resources for Gastrectomy in General Surgery.
Gastrectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of part or all of the stomach. It is commonly considered for various reasons, including the treatment of stomach cancer, severe obesity, or conditions like peptic ulcers that do not respond to other treatments. The decision to undergo gastrectomy is typically made after careful evaluation by a healthcare team, which may include surgeons, oncologists, and nutritionists, who assess the patient’s overall health and the specific medical issue.
The procedure can be performed using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy. During the surgery, the surgeon removes the designated portion of the stomach and may also create connections to the intestines to allow for proper digestion. Patients can expect a hospital stay of several days, and recovery may involve dietary adjustments and lifestyle changes as the body adapts to the changes made during surgery.
While gastrectomy can lead to significant benefits, such as weight loss or the removal of cancerous tissues, it also carries potential risks. Common risks include infection, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. Long-term effects may involve nutritional deficiencies due to altered digestion and absorption. Patients are often monitored closely post-surgery to manage these risks and support recovery.
