Foregut Surgery is performed under appropriate anaesthesia, with the technique determined by the specific disorder being treated. Minimally invasive procedures may involve small abdominal or thoracic incisions through which specialized instruments and a camera are introduced. Depending on the operation, surgeons may repair weakened tissues, reposition the stomach, divide abnormal muscle, remove diseased portions of the esophagus or stomach, or reconstruct the gastrointestinal tract. Postoperative monitoring focuses on recovery of gastrointestinal function, nutrition, pain control, and potential surgical complications.
