Gastric Surgery
Precise surgical care to restore digestion and wellness.
When part or all of the stomach must be removed due to disease, bleeding, or structural issues, SAWNY’s surgeons bring advanced skill and compassionate care to guide you through the process. Whether the condition is stomach cancer, severe ulceration, or another major concern, your treatment begins with a clear explanation and a personalized plan.
Why A Stomach Resection May Be Needed
A gastric resection (also known as stomach resection) can be required when serious conditions affect the stomach. These include malignant tumors, uncontrolled bleeding from ulcers, or other structural problems. In such cases, removing a portion, or in rare cases, the entirety of the stomach allows your body to heal, and your digestive system to function more safely. Your surgeon will determine whether an open or laparoscopic procedure is appropriate based on your condition, overall health, and surgical goals.
What The Procedure Involves
Most stomach resections are performed under general anesthesia. In a laparoscopic approach, the surgeon makes several small incisions and uses a camera and special instruments to remove the diseased portion while minimizing trauma and scarring. In an open approach, a larger incision is used when needed for complex cases. Once the stomach (or portion of it) is removed, the remaining tissues are connected so your digestive tract continues to function. After surgery, your recovery will be monitored carefully, helping you rebuild nutrition, return to everyday activity, and regain strength with clarity and support.
