What Is Gastrectomy?

Gastrectomy is a surgical procedure for treating stomach cancer by removing part or all of the stomach, depending on the cancer’s stage and location. There are two primary types of gastrectomy:

Partial Gastrectomy:
Only the affected portion of the stomach is removed. The remaining section is then connected to the small intestine to maintain digestion.
Total Gastrectomy:
The entire stomach is removed, and the esophagus is directly connected to the small intestine. This procedure requires significant dietary adjustments post-surgery.

Pre-Operative Procedures

Diagnostic Tests:
Comprehensive evaluations, including CT scans, endoscopy, and biopsy, are conducted to accurately determine tumor size, stage, and spread.
Nutritional Assessment:
Our specialists assess your nutritional status, often administering vitamin B12 injections since the stomach plays a crucial role in vitamin absorption.
Fasting & Preparation:
Patients must fast (no food or drink) for 8–12 hours before surgery. We also guide you to stop blood thinners and quit smoking to minimize risks and promote healing.

The Gastrectomy Procedure

Surgical Approach:
Depending on your condition, our expert surgeons perform either a partial or total gastrectomy with precision and care. The affected stomach tissue is removed, and healthy portions are reconnected to preserve as much digestive function as possible.

Post-Operative Care & Recovery

Hospital Stay:
Recovery typically involves a hospital stay of 1–2 weeks for close monitoring and initial healing.
Pain Control:
You will receive IV pain medications followed by a gradual transition to oral pain relief to manage discomfort.
Dietary Changes:
Post-surgery, you’ll start on a liquid diet, gradually progressing to small, frequent meals as your body adjusts to the altered digestive process.
Vitamin & Mineral Supplements:
Lifelong supplementation with vitamin B12, iron, and calcium is often necessary to support your health after surgery.
Weight Monitoring:
Initial weight loss is common due to reduced stomach capacity, with ongoing nutritional support provided throughout recovery.
