TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - GASTRECTOMY, SUBTOTAL A1 - Ellison, E. Christopher A1 - Zollinger, Robert M. Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Zollinger's Atlas of Surgical Operations, 10e AB - Subtotal gastrectomy is indicated in the presence of malignancy; in the presence of gastric ulcer that persists despite intensive medical therapy; and sometimes in the presence of pernicious anemia, suspicious cells by gastric cytology, or equivocal evidence for and against malignancy by repeated gastroscopic observation with direct biopsy. It may be utilized to control acid secretion in cases of intractable duodenal ulcer. A more conservative procedure should be considered in underweight patients with duodenal ulcer, especially females. Likewise, block excision of a gastric ulcer with multicentric frozen section studies should be made for proof of malignancy before performing a radical resection on the assumption the lesion may be malignant.
