StomachStomach surgery is known under many different names with the most common being gastric bypass surgery. In this stomach surgery, the surgeon staples a portion of the stomach together, creating a much smaller pouch for food storage. This allows for the body to feel full on less food, limiting the overall food and caloric intake of the patient. A Y-shaped section of the small intestine is then rerouted into the pouch, starting digestion at a lower point on the small intestine than prior to the surgery, resulting in faster digestion with less caloric absorption. Such a surgery has a rapid rate of recovery with minimal invasiveness. Gastrectomy Gastrectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the stomach
Description The surgery is done while you are under general anesthesia (asleep 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 procedure. Depending on what part of the stomach was removed, the intestine may need to be re-connected to the remaining stomach (partial gastrectomy) or to the esophagus (total gastrectomy). Today, some surgeons perform gastrectomy using a camera. The surgery is done with a few small surgical cuts. The advantages of this surgery, which is called laparoscopy, are a faster recovery, less pain. Why the Procedure is Performed Gastrectomy is used to treat
