Kocher Gastric Resection

Kocher gastrectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat diseases of the stomach and duodenum. It was developed by German surgeon Karl Kocher in 1882.

Kocher resection involves removing part of the stomach and duodenum, as well as adjacent tissue. The operation is performed through an incision in the patient's abdomen. After surgery, the patient undergoes rehabilitation, which includes taking antibiotics and other medications to prevent infection.

Kocher gastrectomy surgery can be performed to treat various stomach diseases such as ulcers, stomach cancer, gastroesophageal reflux disease and others. It can also be used to treat other conditions such as gallstones and diverticulitis.

Although the Kocher gastrectomy procedure has its risks, it is considered one of the most effective operations for treating diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. After surgery, patients can lead a normal lifestyle, including work and exercise.
