Stomach removal surgery
A gastrectomy is a medical procedure that involves surgically removing all or part of the stomach.
A gastrectomy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including obesity and some types of cancer.
There are different types of gastrectomy, depending on which part of your stomach needs to be removed.
A gastrectomy is a serious operation and recovery can take a long time.
As with any type of surgery, a gastrectomy carries a risk of complications. Problems can also occur due to changes in the way you digest food.
