Gastric Surgery in Hyderabad — Expert Surgical Management of Stomach Disorders

Stomach (gastric) conditions range from peptic ulcers — which can be managed conservatively in most cases but occasionally require surgical intervention — to gastric cancer, which demands prompt, skilled surgical treatment to achieve the best possible outcome. Dr. Sujeeth Kumar Bashetty at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, offers specialist gastric surgery with minimally invasive techniques and a multidisciplinary approach to care.

Conditions Treated

✓Peptic ulcer disease — complicated by perforation, haemorrhage, or obstruction
✓Gastric (stomach) cancer — curative resection and palliative procedures
✓Gastric outlet obstruction — from ulcers or tumours
✓GERD and hiatus hernia — anti-reflux surgery
✓Gastric polyps — endoscopic or surgical removal
✓Post-bariatric complications requiring revision surgery

Gastric Surgical Procedures

Surgery for Perforated Peptic Ulcer

A perforated peptic ulcer is a surgical emergency. Dr. Kumar performs laparoscopic or open repair (omental patch) to seal the perforation and wash out the abdominal cavity — ideally within hours of presentation to minimise complications.

Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

Partial or total removal of the stomach is required for gastric cancer. The extent of resection depends on the location and stage of the tumour. Lymph node dissection is performed alongside resection to improve oncological outcomes. Minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) gastrectomy is feasible in selected cases.

Gastrojejunostomy for Gastric Outlet Obstruction

When a tumour or severe peptic ulcer disease prevents the stomach from emptying properly, a bypass operation (gastrojejunostomy) restores food passage and relieves symptoms.

Anti-Reflux Surgery

Laparoscopic fundoplication for GERD and hiatus hernia — a highly effective, long-term solution for patients who do not respond adequately to medication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the warning signs of stomach cancer?

A: Early stomach cancer is often asymptomatic. Warning signs include unexplained weight loss, persistent upper abdominal pain or indigestion, loss of appetite, a feeling of fullness after small meals, vomiting blood, or black stools. Any of these symptoms warrant urgent medical evaluation.

Q: Can a perforated peptic ulcer be treated without surgery?

A: In very selected, stable patients, non-operative management of a sealed perforation is sometimes considered. However, most perforated ulcers require emergency surgery. Dr. Kumar assesses each case individually and recommends the safest, most effective approach.

Q: Is it possible to live normally after part of the stomach is removed?

A: Yes. Most patients adapt well following partial or even total gastrectomy. Dietary adjustments are required — smaller, more frequent meals and specific nutritional supplementation. Dr. Kumar's team includes a dietitian to guide you through recovery and long-term nutritional management.
