Stomach / Gastric Cancer Treatment In A Nutshell
G & L Surgical is a leading surgical clinic that provides gastric cancer treatment for patients in Singapore. We have a passionate and competent team that have had numerous years of experience in providing gastric cancer surgery in Singapore.
Endoscopic resection can treat early-stage cancers. Small cancers on the inner lining of the stomach can be removed using gastroscopy. Dr Ganesh passes an endoscope down your throat and into the stomach. Special tools are used to remove the cancer and surrounding tissue from the stomach lining.
During the gastric cancer procedure, also known as Gastrectomy, involves the removal of the part of the stomach affected with cancer or even the whole stomach. In the latter, the oesophagus is directly joined to the small intestine. This provides a passageway for food to move through the digestive system. This is the usual and most effective way to treat gastric cancer.
Lymph node removal is also performed at the same time to examine lymph nodes and check for cancer cells.
Surgery is the most effective method to manage stomach cancer for patients. This procedure is available at G & L Surgical in Singapore. Like many other tumours, surgery is the primary treatment for gastric cancer. This is especially effective in cases where the cancer is localised to the stomach and has not spread to other organs. Surgery can also be used to assess the chance of your cancer being cured, as well as the need for further treatment. Stomach cancer surgery in Singapore can be combined with other treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy for a more effective means of dealing with the disease

Dr Ganesh operates via a keyhole surgery, which involves a few small incisions opening. A laparoscope is placed through the incisions to view the operative area while other instruments are placed into the other incisions to perform the surgery. Dr Ganesh then removed he resected part of the stomach through a slightly larger incision.
Laparoscopic treatment is therefore minimally invasive with less scarring and faster recovery time. This means you will be able to resume daily activities in a shorter time
The most common stomach cancer surgery is a gastrectomy, which involves removing part or all of the stomach. Dr Ganesh will make an incision in the abdomen and then carefully detach the stomach from the other organs.
Once the stomach has been removed, Dr Ganesh will reconnect the remaining portion of the intestine to the oesophagus. In some cases, removing lymph nodes or other tissues may also be necessary to prevent the cancer from spreading.
This procedure can also be done laparoscopically, through a few small incisions in the abdomen and does not require a large incision like traditional open surgery. During surgery, the stomach is removed through these small incisions, and the remaining digestive tract is reconnected. Similarly, surrounding lymph nodes may also be removed during this procedure.
After surgery, patients will need to stay in the hospital for several days to recover. In most cases, stomach cancer surgery successfully treats the disease and allows patients to return to a normal lifestyle.
Gastric cancer surgery is a major operation with significant side effects. The most common side effect is post-operative pain. This can be managed with medication, but it can still be quite uncomfortable. However, pain can be minimised if your surgery is done laparoscopically, with smaller incisions. Other common side effects include nausea and vomiting, which medication can also manage.
In some cases, patients may also experience problems with wound healing or infection. More serious side effects, such as bleeding or a build-up of fluids in the abdomen, are relatively rare but can occur. If you are considering surgery for stomach cancer, speak to our team for a better assessment before proceeding.
Stomach cancer surgery is a major operation that involves removing part or all of the stomach. The recovery process can be lengthy, and patients may experience a range of side effects, including pain, fatigue, and nausea.
Most patients stay in the hospital for 7-10 days after surgery. During this time, they will receive pain medication and other medications to help with side effects. Once released from the hospital, they will need to take it easy for several weeks. They may need to eat small meals and avoid strenuous activity. Full recovery can take several months, but most patients start to feel better within a few weeks of surgery.
