A member asked:
Tell me about antrectomy or gastrectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Partial: Antrum, fundus, and pylorus are parts of the entire stomach- gastric. Removal for ulcer or cancer may be all or parts. Total gastrectomy, partial gastrectomy, antrectomy, and other operations like vagotomy and pyloroplasty are traditional operations for ulcer disease. More removal is common for cancer.
