Stomach Surgery for Benign and Malignant diseases at DRHC Dubai

At Dr Rami Hamed Center (DRHC), we offer specialized surgical treatment for both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) conditions of the stomach. Our experienced gastrointestinal and oncologic surgeons use advanced diagnostic tools and minimally invasive techniques to deliver personalized care that ensures the best possible outcomes.

Understanding Stomach (Gastric) Surgery

Stomach surgery, or gastric surgery, involves operative procedures performed on the stomach to treat a variety of medical conditions. These may include structural issues, tumors (benign or malignant), chronic ulcers, or complications from infections and other gastrointestinal diseases.

At DRHC, we provide expert care for patients with both functional gastric disorders and serious malignancies, tailoring each surgical approach to the patient’s specific condition and overall health.

Conditions We Treat with Stomach Surgery

• Benign Conditions
  • Gastric ulcers (peptic ulcer disease)
  • Gastric polyps
  • Non-cancerous tumors (e.g., gastrointestinal stromal tumors - GISTs)
  • Stomach obstruction or narrowing (pyloric stenosis)
  • Gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying)
  • Hiatal hernia and reflux disease (in some cases)
• Malignant Conditions
  
  • Stomach (gastric) cancer
  • Lymphoma of the stomach
  • Metastatic tumors involving the stomach
  • Gastroesophageal junction tumors

Types of Stomach Surgery We Perform at DRHC

Depending on the nature and severity of the condition, our surgeons may recommend one of the following procedures:

1. Partial Gastrectomy

Removal of part of the stomach, commonly performed for localized tumors or severe ulcers. The remaining portion is reconnected to the intestine.

2. Total Gastrectomy

Complete removal of the stomach is typically indicated for widespread gastric cancer. The esophagus is connected to the small intestine.

3. Wedge Resection

A localized section of the stomach wall is removed, often used for benign tumors or small GISTs.

4. Endoscopic Tumors Removal

Minimally invasive removal of small benign tumors or early-stage cancers using endoscopic techniques.

5. Laparoscopic Stomach Surgery

A minimally invasive approach using small incisions and a camera for precise surgery with quicker recovery.

6. Reconstructive Procedures (Gastrojejunostomy / Roux-en-Y Reconstruction)

Performed after gastrectomy to reestablish normal food passage from the esophagus or remaining stomach to the small intestine.

When Is Stomach Surgery Needed?

You may be a candidate for stomach surgery if you experience:

• Persistent or severe abdominal pain
• Recurrent vomiting or bloating
• Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
• Unintentional weight loss
• Gastrointestinal bleeding (vomiting blood or black stools)
• A diagnosis of stomach cancer or suspicious gastric mass
• Non-responsive ulcers or failed medical treatment for gastritis

Diagnosis and Pre-Surgical Evaluation

At DRHC Dubai, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools for accurate assessment:

• Upper GI Endoscopy
• CT and MRI scans
• Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
• Biopsy and Histopathological Examination
• PET Scans (for staging cancer)
• Blood tests including tumor markers

Every patient undergoes a comprehensive pre-operative evaluation to assess risks, nutritional status, and treatment goals.
