Gastrectomy (gastrectomia; Greek gaster, gastros - stomach + Greek ektome - excision, excision; synonym: extirpation of the stomach) is a surgical operation to completely remove the stomach, followed by the imposition of an anastomosis between the jejunum and the esophagus.
Types of gastrectomy:
Abdominal (abdominalis) - the opening of the peritoneal cavity is performed by incision of the anterior abdominal wall;
Abdominal-thoracic (abdominothoracalis) - the opening of the pleural cavity is performed through an incision along the eighth intercostal space, and the peritoneal cavity is opened through an incision of the anterior abdominal wall;
Extended - produced with resection of organs adjacent to the stomach, for example, the liver;
According to Sapozhkov (synonym: Sapozhkova gastrectomy) - in which the stomach is completely removed along with the greater omentum, ligaments and regional lymph nodes; performed with stomach cancer;
Transpleural (transpleuralis; synonym: transthoracic gastrectomy) - opening of the pleural cavity is carried out by means of thoracotomy and further diaphragmotomy, which provides a more reliable anastomosis.
