Gastroduodenal Surgery refers to procedures that treat conditions affecting the stomach and duodenum, such as ulcers, tumors, or gastric cancer. These surgeries may involve partial or total removal of the stomach or duodenum or corrective procedures for gastrointestinal disorders.
The procedures can be performed using open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic or endoscopic methods. The choice of procedure depends on the severity and type of condition being treated.
Postoperative care includes pain management, nutritional support, and gradual reintroduction to a normal diet. Patients may also need to avoid certain foods and make lifestyle changes to improve digestion and prevent recurrence.
Gastroduodenal surgery offers effective solutions for a wide range of stomach and duodenal conditions, improving survival rates and quality of life for patients with severe gastrointestinal issues.
