Centro Médico Teknon
Jaume Capdevila
At Teknon physicians perform gastrectomy in the General Surgery Department. For cancer patients a multidisciplinary team is gathered to increase treatment efficiency. Such teams consist of specialists from various departments that process cases together.
Stomach cancer surgery is performed on patients under general anesthesia. The operation lasts for 2-3 hours. After the procedure patients are delivered to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) until their condition is stable. In 2-4 days, they are moved to the regular ward, where they stay for 10-14 days. Complete rehabilitation takes 4-6 months.
