Types of Gastrectomy
The indications of thyroidectomy are -
- A partial gastrectomy takes place when a section of the stomach is excised. Typically, the lowest half is eliminated.
- The entire stomach is excised during a total gastrectomy.
- The left side of the stomach is cut during sleeve gastrectomy surgery. This procedure is done as part of a surgery for loss of weight.
Book an appointment with a gastrointestinal surgeon or general surgeon for a gastrectomy.
How to prepare
Before the surgery, you have to have some tests, such as surgical blood tests and body scans, as suggested by your doctor. This is done to determine your overall general health.
The doctor will review your medical history and check if you have any bleeding problems, allergies, if you are pregnant, any other medical conditions, etc.
You have to stop certain habits like smoking, chewing tobacco, and excess alcohol consumption, which can delay your recovery period.
An enema may be given to you one night before the surgery. You also have to do overnight fasting, and maybe intravenous fluid will be administered to keep you hydrated.
