Gastric Surgery
Gastric
surgery may be performed on patients with peptic ulcers who have
life-threatening hemorrhage, obstruction, perforation, or penetration or whose
condition does not respond to medica-tion. It also may be indicated for
patients with gastric cancer or trauma. Surgical procedures include a vagotomy
and pyloroplasty (disconnecting
nerves that stimulate acid secretion and opening the pylorus), a partial
gastrectomy, and a total gastrectomy (removal of the stomach) with either an
end-to-end or an end-to-side esophagojejunal anastomosis (see Table 37-3).
