Gastrectomy is a major surgical procedure to remove part or all of the stomach, most often performed to treat stomach cancer, though it may also be needed for gastrointestinal stromal tumours, severe peptic ulcer complications, or hereditary high-risk conditions. Depending on the location and extent of disease, a partial (subtotal), total, or proximal gastrectomy is performed, followed by careful reconstruction of the digestive tract so food can continue to pass from the oesophagus into the small intestine. The surgery can be carried out through an open incision, laparoscopically using small keyhole ports, or with robotic assistance. Hospital stays typically range from seven to twelve days, with a structured recovery period of several months focused on wound healing, adapting to new eating patterns, and nutritional monitoring. High-volume centres with dedicated surgical oncology teams and multidisciplinary cancer care tend to deliver the best outcomes.
The stomach is removed through a single longer abdominal incision, giving the surgeon direct access — most suited to advanced or complex cancers and patients with prior abdominal surgery.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: Upper GI endoscopy with biopsy (if not recent), CT scan of chest, abdomen, and pelvis, Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for tumour staging, PET-CT scan (for cancer staging), CBC, liver function tests, kidney function tests, Blood clotting profile (PT/INR, aPTT), Serum albumin and nutritional markers, ECG and 2D Echocardiography (for surgical fitness). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $7,000 – $9,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~5 days
Hospitalisation: ~8 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~24 days recommended
Total stay: approx 37 days

The stomach is removed using a robotic surgical system controlled by the surgeon, offering a magnified three-dimensional view and finer instrument precision — particularly useful for complex reconstructions and detailed lymph node dissection.
