Gastric Cancer Surgery, also known as gastrectomy, is a crucial treatment option for individuals diagnosed with stomach cancer. This surgical procedure aims to remove part or all of the stomach affected by cancerous cells. Surgeons determine the extent of surgery based on factors such as the size, location, and stage of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health. There are various types of gastric cancer surgeries, including subtotal gastrectomy (removal of a portion of the stomach) and total gastrectomy (complete removal of the stomach). In certain instances, the surgical procedure may involve the extraction of adjacent lymph nodes to halt the potential spread or metastasis of cancer cells. Advanced surgical techniques, such as minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgeries, are increasingly utilized to minimize postoperative complications and hasten recovery. After surgery, patients may require dietary modifications, as the stomach's reduced capacity can affect digestion and nutrient absorption. While surgery is a primary treatment for localized gastric cancer, it might be combined with other therapies like chemotherapy or radiation to enhance treatment efficacy, particularly in more advanced cases. Postoperative care, regular follow-ups, and lifestyle adjustments are essential elements in ensuring the best possible outcomes and improving the patient's quality of life following gastric cancer surgery.
