Gastrectomy
Definition
Gastrectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the stomach.
Description
The surgery is done while you are under general anesthesia (unconscious and pain-free). The surgeon makes a cut in the abdomen and removes all or part of the stomach, depending on the reason for the operation. The intestine is then re-connected to the remaining stomach (partial gastrectomy) or to the esophagus (total gastrectomy). After controlling the blood supply, the opening is closed with stitches.
Why the Procedure is Performed
Gastrectomy is used to treat bleeding, inflammation, non-cancerous tumors, or cancer.
Outlook (Prognosis)
How well a patient does after surgery depends on the underlying condition.
Risks

- Reactions to medications
