Operation Greeks-II

The Greeks procedure II is a surgical procedure that is performed to treat certain types of stomach cancer. It is one of the variations of the Grekov operation (gastric resection), which was developed in the 1970s.

The Greek II operation involves removing part of the stomach, including the cardia and part of the esophagus, as well as resection of the affected lymph nodes. This helps reduce the spread of cancer to other organs and tissues.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 4-6 hours. After surgery, the patient remains in the hospital for several days for observation and recovery.

One of the advantages of the Greek II procedure is that it allows you to preserve the function of the stomach and avoid complications associated with complete removal of the organ. However, like any surgery, it can have its risks and complications, such as bleeding, infections and stomach dysfunction.

Overall, the Greek II procedure can be an effective treatment for stomach cancer if performed by an experienced surgeon and in accordance with current standards of medical practice.
