Understanding Gastrectomy Surgery
When stomach disease or cancer impacts your health, timely and specialized surgical care is essential. At Orlando Minimally Invasive Surgery (OMIS), our board-certified surgeons provide expert care in gastrectomy surgery—a safe and effective procedure designed to remove part or all of the stomach and restore healthy digestive function.
Our team focuses on precision, safety, and compassionate support to ensure you receive the highest level of care before, during, and after surgery.
What Is Gastrectomy Surgery?
A gastrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a portion (partial gastrectomy) or the entirety (total gastrectomy) of the stomach. It may be recommended to treat conditions such as:
Stomach (gastric) cancer
Severe peptic ulcers or chronic bleeding
Noncancerous tumors or polyps
Benign growths causing obstruction
Certain metabolic or inherited disorders
By removing the diseased or damaged portion of the stomach, gastrectomy surgery helps alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and support long-term health.
Signs You May Need Gastrectomy Surgery
Your doctor may recommend gastrectomy if you experience persistent or severe symptoms such as:
Ongoing abdominal pain or fullness
Difficulty swallowing or digesting food
Chronic nausea or vomiting
Unexplained weight loss
Gastrointestinal bleeding
At OMIS, our team performs thorough evaluations, including imaging and diagnostic testing, to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient.
