What Is Gastric Surgery?
Gastric surgery includes a range of procedures to treat issues of the stomach, such as ulcers, tumors, cancer, severe gastritis, or blockages. These surgeries may be minimally invasive (laparoscopic) or open, depending on the condition. Dr. Jenit Gandhi uses modern techniques that promote faster healing, fewer complications, and long-term results.
Who Should Consider Gastric Surgery?
Gastric surgery may be recommended for individuals with:
Stomach cancer or non-cancerous growths
Bleeding or perforated ulcers not responding to medication
Obstruction in the stomach or duodenum
Severe chronic gastritis causing daily discomfort
Recurrent or large polyps in the stomach
A detailed evaluation is essential to determine the best surgical plan tailored to your condition.
Surgical Preparation
Preparing for the Surgery
Before gastric surgery, patients typically undergo:
Blood tests and imaging scans (CT, endoscopy)
These help assess your stomach’s condition, identify abnormalities, and plan the safest, most effective surgical approach.
Nutritional counselling if needed
Guidance from a dietitian ensures your body is nutritionally prepared for surgery and supports smoother post-operative healing
Medication review and temporary stoppage of certain drugs
Some medications, like blood thinners, may be paused to reduce surgical risks like excessive bleeding or delayed healing.
Fasting a few hours before the procedure
Fasting keeps your stomach empty during anesthesia, minimizing the risk of complications like aspiration or nausea.

- Minimally Invasive Technique: The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen, through which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and surgical tools are inserted.
- Hernia Repair: The hernia is pushed back into place, and a synthetic mesh is often used to reinforce the weakened area, preventing recurrence. The small incisions are then closed with sutures.

Recovery depends on the type of surgery performed. Most laparoscopic cases allow discharge within 2–4 days, while open procedures might require a slightly longer stay. You may need a temporary change in diet and close follow-up care. Dr. Jenit Gandhi and his team ensure that you are supported every step of the way.
