Partial Gastrectomy
Removal of the distal stomach for refractory ulcers, gastric outlet obstruction, or when cancer cannot be excluded.
What is Partial Gastrectomy?
Partial gastrectomy involves removal of the distal portion of the stomach — the antrum and pylorus — to permanently eliminate the acid-producing zone and remove the ulcer-bearing tissue. It is performed for refractory peptic ulcers, gastric outlet obstruction from chronic scarring, or large gastric ulcers where malignancy cannot be confidently excluded by biopsy alone.
Dr. Tagore Mohan Grandhi performs partial gastrectomy. Reconstruction is performed by Billroth II gastrojejunostomy or Roux-en-Y anastomosis. All specimens are sent for histopathological examination.
Suitable for patients with peptic ulcers refractory to H.pylori eradication and acid suppression, gastric outlet obstruction from chronic ulcer fibrosis, or large gastric ulcers where biopsy alone cannot conclusively exclude malignancy.
How the Procedure Works
Pre-operative Assessment
Upper GI endoscopy with biopsy and H.pylori testing performed. Nutritional optimisation completed before surgery.
Gastric Mobilisation
Stomach mobilised. Greater and lesser omentum divided. Blood supply to the stomach secured and divided.
Gastric Transection
Stomach transected at junction of body and antrum. Distal portion including the ulcer removed with clear margins.
Reconstruction
Gastrointestinal continuity restored by Roux-en-Y or Billroth II gastrojejunostomy reconstruction.
Recovery
Diet progressed from liquids to solids over 2–5 days. CT confirms anastomotic integrity before discharge.
Outcomes
Who Needs This Treatment?
- →Removes acid-producing antrum permanently — eliminates root cause of recurrence
- →Definitive treatment for refractory or obstructing peptic ulcers
- →Histopathology of resected stomach confirms ulcer benign or identifies malignancy
- →Simultaneous treatment of ulcer and reconstruction in one procedure
Partial gastrectomy is the definitive solution when medical therapy has failed or when we cannot confidently exclude malignancy in a gastric ulcer. Removing the acid factory permanently eliminates the source of the problem.
