Gastrectomy (partial And Total)
Gastrectomy (partial and total) is an advanced gastrointestinal surgical procedure offered at Moolchand Hospital, one of the best hospitals in Delhi for stomach cancer and complex digestive disorders. The surgery involves removal of part or the entire stomach depending on the severity, location, and stage of the disease.
In a partial gastrectomy, only the affected portion of the stomach is removed. This may include the distal (lower) or proximal (upper) part of the stomach depending on the disease location. In a total gastrectomy, the entire stomach is removed, and the esophagus is directly connected to the small intestine to maintain continuity of the digestive system.
The procedure is commonly performed for gastric cancer, large gastric tumors such as GIST, severe or complicated peptic ulcer disease, gastric bleeding, and obstruction. For cancer cases, gastrectomy is often combined with lymph node dissection to ensure complete removal of disease.
The surgery may be performed using open, laparoscopic, or robotic techniques, depending on patient suitability, disease extent, and surgical planning. Minimally invasive approaches may offer benefits such as reduced pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stay in selected patients.
Following gastrectomy, careful reconstruction of the digestive tract is performed using techniques such as Billroth I, Billroth II, or Roux-en-Y anastomosis. Post-surgery, patients require structured recovery and long-term nutritional management, as the stomach plays a key role in digestion.
At Moolchand Hospital in Lajpat Nagar, Delhi, our multidisciplinary team of gastrointestinal surgeons, oncologists, anesthetists, and nutrition specialists ensures comprehensive care — from diagnosis and surgery to recovery and rehabilitation — tailored to each patient.
Our team of globally acclaimed super specialists has pioneered several gastrectomy (partial and total) surgeries.
