Stomach Cancer
What kind of surgeries are offered at Dr. Muffi Digestive Health Institute to treat stomach cancers?
At Dr. Muffi Digestive Health Institute, we offer a full range of surgical treatments for stomach cancer. Our services include endoscopic, laparoscopic, and robotic procedures, such as wide local excision, partial gastrectomy, and total gastrectomy, tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient.
What are the advantages of laparoscopic surgery compared to open surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages over open surgery, including much smaller surgical cuts and minimal handling of the organs during the procedure. As a result, you experience significantly less pain, can move around more easily and quickly, and enjoy a faster overall recovery.
Who is it recommended for?
Endoscopic surgery is ideal for patients with stomach polyps, while gastrectomy is typically performed for stomach cancer. For stromal tumors, your surgeon may recommend a wide local excision to ensure thorough removal.
What are the advantages of robotic surgery over laparoscopic surgery?
– Greater precision during the procedure
– Smaller, more minimal scars
– Faster recovery compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery
