Laparoscopic Gastrectomy

Laparoscopic Gastrectomy

Laparoscopic Gastrectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove a part or all of the stomach using minimally invasive techniques. It is typically performed to treat various stomach conditions, including gastric cancer, ulcers, and other digestive system disorders.

During the procedure, small incisions are made in the patient's abdomen, and a laparoscope (a small camera) and other surgical instruments are inserted through these incisions. The surgeon uses the laparoscope to view the inside of the patient's abdomen on a video monitor while manipulating the surgical instruments to remove the stomach tissue.

Laparoscopic Gastrectomy is considered a safer and less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. The benefits of this technique include smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced pain, and a shorter hospital stay. Recovery time after the surgery is generally faster compared to open surgery. However, laparoscopic gastrectomy is not suitable for all patients, and the decision to perform this procedure should be made by an experienced surgeon after evaluating the patient's specific needs and medical history.
