Gastrectomy is a procedure in which part or all of the stomach is removed. This procedure might be done in patients that have stomach cancer. In some cases, variations of the surgery can be performed on patients with stomach ulcers or tumors, or those who are morbidly obese. In partial gastrectomy, the surgeon makes an incision in the abdomen to remove part of the stomach. In total gastrectomy, after making the incision, the entire stomach will be removed, and the esophagus will be connected to the duodenum of the small intestine.

What can an international patient expect from Gastrectomy doctors?

The Gastrectomy doctor typically first sees the results of the diagnostic tests to assess the medical condition and overall health of the patient. Based on the initial assessment, the doctor would prepare a treatment plan tailored according to the individualized needs of each patient. The doctor will also discuss the treatment plan for Gastrectomy, alternative options, the pros and cons associated with each option and the possible risks as well as complications to educate and help the patient make the decision. They provide a comprehensive evaluation report and discuss the treatment in-depth with the patient during their consultation. For internation patients, they offer teleconsultation services to educate them about their condition and treatment options. These consultations help the patients and their families understand the treatment better and provide them a chance to ask questions or clear their doubts. The doctors are involved in the entire treatment process, from the pre-treatment phase to post-treatment care.

Once the patient is ready for the treatment, the Gastrectomy surgeon addresses his team members and shares the details of the case with them. The team members prepare for Gastrectomy and set up a convenient date for the procedure with the patient’s approval. The team will provide the patient a few instructions and guidelines for the pre-treatment phase. Also, the Gastrectomy hospital initiates the formalities and ensures the hospital stay is comfortable. The patient will have to submit documents for any insurance claim approval. They must also apply for a medical visa and arrange their travel and accommodation based on the scheduled date for the procedure.

Are the Gastrectomy surgeons skilled in the latest treatment procedures?

The Gastrectomy surgeons are experts in their specialization field and have extensive experience in managing basic to complex cases. They are well-trained in the latest surgical procedures and medical treatments in their area of expertise. The surgeons are skilled in laparoscopy, endoscopy and other minimally invasive techniques of surgery. These procedures are associated with faster recovery with less post-operative pain and low rates of complication. The doctors also attend various workshops, seminars and participate in CMEs to remain updated with the recent trends and advancements in medicine and healthcare systems.

What is the Gastrectomy surgeon responsible for?

The surgeon is responsible for the preoperative diagnosis of the Gastrectomy patient, for performing the operation, and for providing the patient with postoperative surgical care and treatment. The surgeon works as the leader of the medical team who takes care of the patient.
