What are the types of Gastrectomy?

Based on the part of the stomach that needs to be removed, there are four major forms of gastrectomy.
— Total Gastrectomy: This treatment entails the removal of the entire stomach, as well as surrounding lymph nodes, and portions of the oesophagus and small intestine.
—Partial gastrectomy: this treatment entails removing a portion of the stomach that has cancer, as well as adjacent lymph nodes and other organs.
—Esophagogastrectomy: This procedure involves the removal of the upper part of the stomach, a portion of the oesophagus, and the tube that connects the throat to the stomach.

What are the different techniques of Gastrectomy?

  • There are two different types of gastrectomy procedures.

  •  Open Gastrectomy — This is a surgical procedure that involves making a wide cut in the patient’s stomach or chest. The rationale for this is that removing the afflicted lymph nodes is easier using this method.
    >> Laparoscopic Gastrectomy – This is a minimally invasive procedure in which a laparoscope (a small instrument with a narrow tube that has a light source and camera at the end of the tube) is inserted, and the surgeon can locate the affected part of the stomach using the laparoscope’s video camera and through incisions that are made.
