What type of surgery for removing a mass in stomach

Answers

Answered by GPT 3.5
The type of surgery for removing a mass in the stomach will depend on the size, location, and nature of the mass. Some common surgical procedures for removing stomach masses include:

1. Laparoscopic surgery: A minimally invasive procedure in which small incisions are made in the abdomen and a thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted to guide the removal of the mass.

2. Endoscopic surgery: A procedure in which a flexible tube with a camera and surgical tools is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach to remove the mass.

3. Open surgery: In cases where the mass is large or hard to reach, traditional open surgery may be necessary to remove the mass.

4. Robotic-assisted surgery: A minimally invasive procedure in which a surgeon controls robotic arms to perform the surgery with more precision.

The specific type of surgery recommended will depend on the individual patient's condition and the recommendations of their healthcare team.
