Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Gastric Cancer Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Gastric cancer surgery, known as a gastrectomy, is the surgical removal of part or all of the stomach to treat stomach cancer, along with the surrounding lymph nodes. It is the cornerstone of curative treatment for localised and locally advanced gastric cancer and is usually part of a broader plan that may include chemotherapy before or after the operation. The extent of stomach removed depends on the tumour's location — a partial (distal) gastrectomy preserves part of the stomach when the cancer is in the lower portion, while a total gastrectomy is needed for tumours in the middle or upper stomach. The surgery can be performed through a conventional open incision, through small keyhole incisions (laparoscopic), or using a robotic system that offers enhanced precision. Most patients stay in hospital for seven to ten days and require several weeks of dietary adaptation during recovery, guided closely by a dietitian.
The stomach is removed through a single long incision in the upper abdomen — the most established approach, suitable for all tumour sizes and locations.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: Upper GI endoscopy with biopsy (if not recent), Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for tumour depth staging, Contrast-enhanced CT scan — chest, abdomen, and pelvis, PET-CT scan (if clinically indicated), CBC, LFT, KFT, serum albumin, PT/INR and coagulation profile, HbA1c and blood sugar, Pulmonary function test and anaesthesia fitness evaluation. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $9,500 – $11,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~7 days
Hospitalisation: ~8 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~21 days recommended
Total stay: approx 36 days
The stomach is removed through several small keyhole incisions using a camera and long instruments, generally resulting in less pain, smaller scars, and a faster recovery than open surgery.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: Upper GI endoscopy with biopsy (if not recent), Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for tumour depth staging, Contrast-enhanced CT scan — chest, abdomen, and pelvis, PET-CT scan (if clinically indicated), CBC, LFT, KFT, serum albumin, PT/INR and coagulation profile, HbA1c and blood sugar, Pulmonary function test and anaesthesia fitness evaluation. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $11,000 – $13,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~7 days
Hospitalisation: ~7 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~18 days recommended
Total stay: approx 32 days
The surgeon removes the stomach using robotic arms controlled from a console, offering enhanced 3D vision and greater precision — particularly during lymph node dissection in tight anatomical spaces.
