Stomach/Gastric Surgery (Gastrectomy) (Fraser Health) [English] Permalink Public
You are having surgery (an operation) to remove a part or all of your stomach. If only part of your stomach is removed, we call it a ‘partial gastrectomy’. The remaining part of your stomach is reconnected to your esophagus and small bowel (small intestine). If all of your stomach is removed, we call it a ‘total gastrectomy’. A new ‘stomach’ is made using part of your small bowel. Your esophagus is attached to your small bowel. Replaces catalogue #265495 (English) Colour

Esophageal Surgery (Fraser Health) [English] Permalink Public
You are having surgery (an operation) to remove part or the whole esophagus because of damage from heartburn, injury, swallowing a caustic substance or poison, or cancer. The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the throat with the stomach. Some people call it the food pipe or gullet. If part or the whole esophagus is removed, we call it an ‘esophagectomy’. The connection between the throat and stomach is rebuilt. Replaces catalogue # 265494 (English) Colour
