Complete gastrointestinal surgery (removal of the entire stomach) and partial gastrointestinal surgery (removal of a section of the stomach) are two types of gastrectomy.
- Colectomy: A colectomy is the removal of part of the large intestine (colon). It is further classified as right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy, and sigmoid colectomy based on the exact spot of the cancer.
- Hepatectomy: A part of the liver is removed during this procedure. It is frequently used to treat liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) or metastases from other gastrointestinal cancers.
- Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure): This is a very complex surgery done to treat pancreatic cancer located in the pancreatic head. It includes the removal of the pancreatic head, a section of the small intestine (duodenum), the gallbladder, and, in certain cases, a portion of the stomach.
- Intention to treat – For early-stage GI cancer that has not spread to other body parts, surgery is the primary choice of treatment. Surgical removal of the tumor may result in an effective treatment.
- Local Control – Surgery may remove the cancerous tissue as well as neighboring lymph nodes, lowering the chance of recurrence and preventing the cancer from spreading to other tissues.
- Prognosis Improvement – By removing the source of cancer growth, surgical excision of the tumor can greatly improve the patient’s long-term prognosis for various GI cancers.
- Diagnostic Staging – Surgery is often done for diagnosis, allowing for proper cancer staging and determining the extent of its spread in the body. This knowledge helps with future treatment decisions.
- Minimally Invasive Techniques – Many GI cancer operations may be done using less invasive methods like laparoscopic or robotic surgery. In comparison to traditional open surgery, these procedures result in smaller incisions, less pain, less hospitalizations, as well as quicker recuperation times.
