Complications after total gastrectomy

When patients who underwent total gastrectomy showed postoperative complications, it was likely that weight loss and anemia were the two reasons, because the volume of the stomach decreased more rapidly after total gastrectomy, and the digestive time decreased, resulting in decreased digestive function, thus causing the patient to show weight loss. Anemia occurs when stomach acid is reduced after most gastrectomy, and food intake does not pass through the duodenum, thus further affecting the absorption of iron and salt by the body.
