Abstract:
Today, gastrectomy is a routine surgical procedure which any competent abdominal surgeon is expected to be able to perform efficiently and, in a reasonably fit patient, to achieve a speedy and safe recovery. It is worth remembering that the first successful gastrectomy, performed in the late 19th century, was hailed as something of a miracle and opened the way for modern elective abdominal surgery.
