Cognitive Pearls in General Surgery

Abstract

This chapter covers the anatomy and surgical mobilization of the stomach, based on its rich blood supply. The anatomic and physiologic elements of gastric secretion are explained, and in this context, the different vagotomy techniques are presented. The anatomical rationale for gastric resections in the treatment of gastric cancer is presented, as are the different options for gastric reconstructions and the management of complications thereof.
