What is Gastric Surgery?

  • Stomach Cancer
  • Stomach Ulcer
  • Stomach Hernia
  • Morbid Obesity
  • Stomach Congestion
  • Trauma or Injuries

Treatments Offered in Gastric Surgery

Total Gastrectomy
It is the removal of the entire stomach. In this operation, the stomach is completely removed and the oesophagus is directly joined to the small intestine. It is usually preferred in cases where stomach cancer completely covers the stomach or is widespread.
Subtotal (Partial) Gastrectomy
It is the removal of part of the stomach, usually the lower part. It is performed when the cancer is confined to the stomach and there is no need to remove the entire stomach. The remaining stomach tissue is combined with the small intestine.
Proximal Gastrectomy
Removal of the upper part of the stomach. This operation is performed when the cancer is confined to the upper part of the stomach. The remaining stomach is connected to the oesophagus.
D2 Lymphadenectomy
The removal of lymph nodes in gastric cancer surgery is called D2 lymphadenectomy. In this procedure, the lymph nodes around the stomach are removed extensively against the risk of cancer spreading.
Palliative Surgery
These are operations performed to improve the patient's quality of life when complete removal of the cancer is not possible. Such surgical procedures aim to relieve gastric obstruction or stop bleeding.
Laparoscopic Gastrectomy
Gastric cancer surgeries are performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive). This surgery, which is performed through small incisions, accelerates the patient's recovery process and causes less pain.

    Curious Questions

    Gastric surgery is a medical field that covers surgical procedures performed on the stomach. These operations are usually performed to treat stomach cancer, ulcers, stomach hernia and other stomach diseases.

    Gastric cancer surgery is a surgery that takes into account the spread of cancer and the size of the tumour. Part or all of the stomach can be removed. The type and extent of the surgery is determined according to the patient’s condition.

    Gastric hernia surgery is performed to repair the hernia caused by the widening of the opening between the stomach and oesophagus. It is usually performed laparoscopically, so patients recover faster.

    The postoperative recovery process varies depending on the type of surgery performed. Usually, the first few days are spent under observation in hospital and a special diet is followed. Full recovery may take several weeks.

    As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks in gastric surgery. Infection, bleeding, anaesthesia-related complications and rarely postoperative complications (e.g. recurrence of hernia) may occur.

    Postoperative nutrition is planned according to the type of surgery. Generally, a liquid diet is started in the first days, followed by soft foods. It is recommended to follow a balanced and healthy nutrition plan in the long term.

    After the surgery, the diet plan recommended by the doctor should be followed, heavy physical activities should be avoided and regular controls should not be disrupted. It is also important to avoid foods and beverages that may strain the stomach.

    The time to return to your normal life depends on the type of surgery and the general health of the patient. Usually, light daily activities can be resumed within a few weeks, but full recovery may take several months.
