What Is Partial or Total Gastrectomy?

A gastrectomy is a surgery where part or the entire stomach is removed to treat serious stomach conditions. It helps restore health when medicines or other treatments can no longer control the disease. The procedure supports better long-term recovery by removing the damaged or diseased stomach area.

Surgical Steps of Partial and Total Gastrectomy

During a gastrectomy, surgeons make an incision in the abdomen and carefully access the stomach using retractors and laparoscopic or open surgical tools. The diseased portion of the stomach is removed, and the remaining part is connected to the small intestine to allow proper food passage. Throughout the surgery, Nivda laparotomy drapes, reinforced surgical gowns, and sterile abdominal sheets protect the operative field from contamination. These drapes help maintain a clear working area, control fluid spread, and organize instrument handling during long abdominal surgeries. Nivda mayo covers and table covers keep essential tools sterile and ready for immediate use. After completing the gastric reconnection, the abdomen is closed, and the patient is shifted to monitored recovery.
