Background: Gastrectomy remains the cornerstone of curative treatment for gastric cancer and an essential option in bariatric surgery. This study reports the experience of a Moroccan military hospital.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted from January 2018 to December 2022 including all patients who underwent gastrectomy for malignant tumors or morbid obesity.
Results: Fifty-one patients were included. Indications were gastric tumors in 45 cases (88.2%) and morbid obesity in 6 cases (11.8%). Mean age was 59.8 years with male predominance (60.8%). Adenocarcinoma represented 84.4% of tumors. Total gastrectomy was performed in 52.3% of cases. Overall morbidity was 29.4% and 30-day mortality was 2%.
Conclusion: Gastrectomy remains a safe and effective procedure with acceptable morbidity in experienced centers.
