3. Symptom Relief Surgery

If the disease has unfortunately spread beyond the stomach it might be impossible to deal with this through a stomach removal operation. In these extremely serious situations the surgeon might only be able to take actions to relieve suffering. For example, they may want to operate to unblock the stomach so that the patient can at least digest their food without feeling intense pains or becoming sick. Options open to them in these circumstances include partial surgery to clear the blockage and inserting a special tube to widen the stomach.
