TOTAL GASTRECTOMY
Total gastrectomy at our center is performed by an experienced surgical oncology team using modern surgical techniques and comprehensive perioperative care.

Total gastrectomy is an advanced surgical procedure involving the complete removal of the stomach. It is most commonly performed for the treatment of gastric cancer or severe gastric diseases affecting the entire stomach.
After the stomach is removed, digestive continuity is reconstructed by connecting the esophagus directly to the small intestine, allowing food to pass through the digestive tract.
The operation is performed by a specialized surgical oncology team using modern surgical techniques to ensure safe tumor removal and support postoperative recovery.
