Total Gastrectomy

Total Gastrectomy

A total gastrectomy is performed to treat stomach (gastric) cancer, where the entire stomach is surgically removed. The esophagus is then connected to the small intestine to allow digestion. Patients require a permanent diet modification, relying on small, frequent meals and vitamin supplements. The procedure is often combined with chemotherapy or radiation for better results.
