Gastrectomy is a surgical intervention involving the removal of either a portion or the entire stomach. It is performed in cases of gastric cancer, peptic ulcer disease, or esophageal stenosis. What should the dietary regimen of a patient look like after such a procedure?
Diet after a gastric resection
In the first day after surgery, intravenous infusion is used. The patient's mouth should also be soaked with boiled water. Peristalsis should be best performed at the second day, and then a light start should be given to the administration of 500 ml of hot tea over the course of the day. By interfering with the digestive tract, digestion and absorption disorders may occur after the operation.
Diet after a complete gastric resection
The procedure of complete removal of the stomach is performed in the case of stomach cancer. The surgeon initially closes the blood vessels and removes the diseased organ. He then restores the continuity of the digestive tract by connecting the duodenum to the small intestine. Digestion after complete stomach resection is somewhat hindered because this organ is completely cut off from the gastrointestinal tract and the food from the intestine passes directly into the small bowel.
Diet after partial gastric resection Example menu
Breakfast: wheat pastry with cream and jam.. 2nd breakfast: soft-boiled egg, wheat sugar.. 3 hour break between the 1st and 2nd day.. Lunch: medium yellow soup, potato puree with butter and gravy, poultry meat cooked in soup.. Afternoon: cashews of manna on milk with fried banana.. Dinner: white rice cooked with water with carrots, fish steamed with parsley and meat.. Stomach resection is a serious procedure that requires proper nutrition because the stomach is completely or partially cut off from the digestive tract.. to allow the intestines to be fully digested, to facilitate the growth and not to involve other organs in the digestion process.
