Pylorectomy

Pylorectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the pyloric sphincter. The pyloric sphincter is a circular muscle that is located in the lower part of the stomach and controls the passage of food from the stomach into the intestines. Pylorectomy can be performed for various stomach diseases such as stomach cancer, peptic ulcers and pyloric stenosis.

Pylorectomy can be performed either by open surgery or using laparoscopic techniques. During open surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision in the abdomen and removes the pyloric sphincter, then connects the remaining part of the stomach to the intestines. A laparoscopic pylorectomy is performed using small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope and other instruments are inserted. The laparoscopic method has several advantages, including faster recovery, less pain after surgery, and less chance of complications.

Pylorectomy can be performed as a stand-alone operation or in combination with other surgical procedures. For example, for stomach cancer, a pylorectomy may be performed along with a gastrectomy—removal of the entire stomach.

After a pylorectomy, the patient must adhere to a special diet and personal care recommendations. Most people can return to their normal activities after surgery, but in some cases additional procedures and treatments may be required.

In conclusion, pylorectomy is a major surgical procedure that may be recommended for certain stomach conditions. The surgeon should discuss all possible risks and benefits of the operation with the patient and help him make an informed decision about how best to treat his condition.

Pylorectomy is a surgical operation that involves removing the pyloric sphincter.

During this operation, the surgeon removes part of the stomach, including the pyloric sphincter (a muscle valve that controls the passage of food from the stomach into the duodenum). This operation is usually performed for gastric or duodenal ulcers, stomach cancer or pyloric stenosis.

Removal of the pyloric sphincter leads to the fact that food from the stomach flows freely into the intestines without being retained or digested in the stomach. This can cause symptoms of afferent loop syndrome, such as diarrhea and weight loss. Therefore, pylorectomy is often combined with other procedures, such as gastrojejunostomy, to connect the remaining part of the stomach to the small intestine.

A pylorectomy is different from an antrectomy, in which only the antrum of the stomach is removed. It also differs from pyloroplasty, in which the pyloric sphincter is not removed but only cut or stretched to correct the stenosis.

Pylorectomy (pylorectomy, from Latin pylorus - pylorus and Greek ektomai - remove) is a surgical operation to remove the pylorus (gastric sphincter) and part of the stomach (pyloric section).

Pylorectomy is performed for gastric ulcers and cancer of the gastric cardia.

During pyloroplasty, the pylorus is removed along with part of the stomach.

Pylorectomy is a surgical procedure that removes part of the lumen of the stomach at the junction of the esophagus. When cancer of the pyloric canal develops, surgery is also performed to remove the malignant neoplasm.

Removing the pyloric region speeds up the digestion of food, improves overall well-being, but negatively affects the absorption of vitamins and microelements. An unfavorable consequence is considered to be postoperative dysfunction of the stomach, stomach, intestines, damage to the pyloric wall during extensive removal, an increased risk of developing reflux disease and pneumonia, paralysis of the nervous apparatus of the pancreas, and post-resection hypovitaminosis.
