Stomach Resection

The process we call resection is the process of taking parts from certain organs of the body. During stomach resection, a part of the stomach or the existing tumor is surgically removed. So why is stomach resection needed? Let's explore the details together in this article.

Endoscopic Stomach Resection

The process of removing the cancerous area, tumor, or a diseased part from the body is called resection. Endoscopic stomach resection, which is generally preferred in stomach cancer, also provides removal of the cancerous part from the body. For this, a long and flexible tube is passed through the throat and goes down to the stomach and the process takes place. Of course, there are some conditions for this process to take place. While this procedure can be applied in patients with cancer that has not spread much and at an early stage, different methods may be needed in cases where the stage of the cancer is advanced.

Why Is Stomach Resection Needed?

While the tumor, which has started to form in the stomach for different reasons, grows, it both damages the stomach and causes pain to the person. Cancerous cells that continue to grow may progress over time and spread to different organs and may present a situation that is difficult to prevent. For this reason, sometimes cancerous cells must be removed from the body. However, it should be noted that this process alone is not enough. In some cases, even if the cancerous part of the patient’s body has been removed, there is a risk of tumor formation in the same areas. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the recurrence of the tumor by using various methods such as chemotherapy and drug therapy in line with the recommendations of specialist doctors.
