Which gastrointestinal diseases require minor surgery

1.

Appendicitis is an acute and chronic inflammatory reaction occurring in the appendix. If the patient is not treated surgically, it may cause serious consequences such as appendix perforation, diffuse peritonitis, purulent portal phlebitis, etc., threatening life. Therefore, minor surgery is needed to remove the diseased appendix.

2. Gastric ulcer

is an ulcer in the inner gastric mucosa or deeper layers. If the severe patient is not operated, it may cause complications such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcer perforation, pyloric obstruction, etc., which is harmful to health. Therefore, minor surgery is needed to remove the ulcer site.

3. Gastric

cancer is a malignant tumor of the stomach. The tumor size is small and no metastasis occurs in the early stage of the disease. At this time, it can be removed by minor surgery. If it is not treated in time, the tumor focus can grow rapidly, and the tumor cells can also spread throughout the body. The prognosis is poor.
