Regular gastroscopy is still needed after total gastrectomy.
Gastroscopy can directly observe the recovery of the wound and the surrounding tissues after total gastrectomy, and can evaluate the treatment effect and prognosis after total gastrectomy.
Especially after total gastrectomy, patients are prone to recurrence and metastasis, so they still need to undergo gastroscopy regularly after total gastrectomy, which can help to find the precursors of gastric cancer recurrence as early as possible, and achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.
If you are not sure whether gastroscopy is needed after operation, you should go to the hospital and ask the doctor to make a judgment.
