HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
How is Stomach Cancer Surgery Performed?
Esophageal cancer surgery removes the affected esophagus, nearby lymph nodes, and reconstructs digestion by connecting the stomach to remaining esophagus.
Preoperative Assessment
Before surgery, Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda performs a comprehensive evaluation including upper GI endoscopy with biopsy, CT scan, PET-CT when indicated, blood investigations, nutritional assessment, cardiac evaluation, pulmonary assessment, and anesthetic fitness. These investigations help determine the stage of the cancer and identify the most appropriate surgical approach.
General Anesthesia
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure. The anesthesia team continuously monitors all vital parameters during the operation to maintain maximum patient safety.
Surgical Procedure
Depending on the tumor's location and extent, either a Partial Gastrectomy or Total Gastrectomy is performed. The affected portion of the stomach, along with surrounding lymph nodes, is carefully removed following internationally accepted oncological principles. Whenever appropriate, minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques are used to reduce postoperative pain, minimize blood loss, and promote faster recovery while ensuring complete cancer clearance.
Reconstruction
Following removal of the diseased portion of the stomach, the digestive tract is reconstructed by connecting the remaining stomach or esophagus directly to the small intestine. This reconstruction restores the normal passage of food and supports long-term digestive function and nutrition.
Postoperative Care
Patients receive specialized postoperative care, including pain management, nutritional support, respiratory physiotherapy, early mobilization, infection prevention, and careful monitoring for potential complications. Dietary guidance is gradually introduced to help patients adapt to changes in digestion.
RECOVERY
Recovery After Stomach Cancer Surgery
Recovery after esophageal cancer surgery includes gradual healing, nutritional support, pain management, follow-up care, and a steady return to daily activities.
01.
Hospital Stay
Most patients remain in the hospital for 5 to 10 days, depending on the complexity of the surgery and their recovery progress.
02.
Diet
Patients begin with liquids before gradually progressing to soft foods and a balanced diet under the supervision of the healthcare team. Nutritional counseling helps maintain healthy weight and proper nutrient intake following surgery.
03.
Activity
Early walking is encouraged shortly after surgery to reduce postoperative complications. Most patients can gradually return to routine daily activities within 4 to 6 weeks, while heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided during the recovery period.
04.
Follow-up
Regular follow-up appointments include clinical examinations, nutritional assessments, imaging studies, blood investigations, and long-term cancer surveillance to monitor recovery and detect recurrence at an early stage.
