Gackera Gastroenterostomy

Gacchero gastroenteritis is a type of surgery in which part of the stomach is connected to the small intestine. The surgery can be performed in several ways, but the most common method is to partially resect the stomach and suture the new connection area to the small intestine.

Indications for this operation are oncological diseases of the stomach, tumors of the esophagus and hernia. It is also performed for complex forms of gastric ulcer.

The essence of the method is that a small part of the stomach with intestines is separated, and another part of the stomach is superimposed on the small intestine to create a new connection. The stomach particles become engrafted at the junction. After the operation is completed, the previously selected area is restored to the patient.

One of the most important reasons for this is the possible resurgence of cancer in this area, since some types of cancer can begin at the junction of the small intestine. If these cancers spread to the stomach, surgery may help prevent this from continuing to spread.

Surgery may also be beneficial for patients with stomach cancer outside the junction or with advanced forms of cancer that do not fall within the junction. In such cases, surgery may be the only way to obtain a correct diagnosis. Some forms of cancer simply cannot be pinpointed to their exact source or location.

The procedure itself is relatively simple and more common than many other complex surgeries. It takes between one and two hours and is completed over a total of six weeks, although this can vary.

It must be remembered that each case is individual, and Gakkera is recommended only under the supervision of qualified surgeons. A doctor may consider this method, especially if the patient is elderly, has a serious diagnosis, or has difficulty taking medications after surgery.
