Stomach Surgery

The doctors perform surgery of the stomach in the case of a benign gastric ulcer which is an erosion in the lining of the stomach. It is a disease that is caused by an imbalance between acid and pepsin secretion and the defenses of the stomach lining. Surgical intervention may be performed in people who do not respond to medical therapy.

A gastrectomy may be performed in the case of stomach cancer. If a tumor is localized to the stomach, surgery is the best choice. If the tumor has spread then surgery may only be done to relieve or prevent blockage or hemorrhage.
