Stomach-related operations encompass a variety of surgical procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the stomach and surrounding areas. Some common types include:

Gastrectomy: This involves the partial or complete removal of the stomach. It is often performed to treat stomach cancer, severe ulcers, or other conditions where removing part or all of the stomach is necessary.

Gastric Bypass Surgery (Roux-en-Y): A weight-loss procedure that involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach and rerouting the small intestine to bypass a portion of the stomach and upper small intestine. This restricts food intake and reduces calorie absorption, leading to weight loss.

Sleeve Gastrectomy: Also a weight-loss surgery, sleeve gastrectomy involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving a sleeve-shaped pouch. This reduces the stomach’s capacity, limiting the amount of food it can hold and resulting in weight loss.

Gastric Banding (Lap-Band Surgery): This weight-loss surgery involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach to create a smaller stomach pouch.

Gastric Balloon Procedure: Involves placing an inflated balloon in the stomach to create a feeling of fullness and reduce food intake. It’s a temporary measure used for weight loss in obese patients.
