Abstract

Total or partial resection of the stomach is a major surgery performed mainly for complications of peptic ulcers (bleeding, stricture, perforation) or for gastric cancer. Other less frequent indications are benign tumors and severe gastroparesis. Gastric surgery for obesity will be treated in a separate chapter.
