What is Gastric Disorders?
a)Gastritis
Gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach lining.
b)Pangastritis
When the whole of the stomach got inflamed it is known as PANGASTRITIS.
c) Antral Gastritis
The inflammation of the stomach’s inner mucosal lining in the distal part of the stomach – antral region is known as antral gastritis.
Patients with gastritis usually has abdominal pain and burning sensations and bloating,belching,etc.
d) Atrophic Gastritis
When the stomach lining is irritated for an extended period of years, atrophic gastritis (AG) occurs. Atrophic Gastritis may sometimes happen as a result of the immune system unintentionally attacking the good cells lining the stomach. This condition is called autoimmune atrophic gastritis.
e) Gastric Erosion
Erosions are small ulcers or small breaks in the epithelium lining the inside of the stomach.Usually there are multiple and maybe caused by some drugs like painkillers, Steroids , stress,etc.They may present with abdominal pain,burning sensation, and vomiting.
f) Peptic Ulcers
Ulcers are bigger break in the epithelium resulting in bigger wounds in the epithelium lining the stomach resulting in ulcers. These are usually caused by increased acidity,injection of analgesics,steroids,anti-platelets,HELICO BACTER PYLORI INFECTIONS.They may arise in the stomach called GASTRIC ULCERS or in the DUODENUM called DUODENAL ULCERS
g) Non Ulcer Dyspepsia

h) Aphthous Ulcers
Small or superficial ulcers which may arise in the oral cavity and stomach and in the small intestine and may be an indicator of inflammatory bowel disease.
i) H.Pylori-Helicobacter Pylori
Most frequently, an H.PYLORI bacterial infection is the source of the inflammation. The bacteria damage the mucus layer that shields the stomach lining from the digestive juices’ acidity. If the infection is left untreated, the stomach lining’s cells will eventually be destroyed,resulting in gastritis and peptic ulcers.Usually treated with H.PYLORI KIT.
j) Gastroparesis
Gastroparesis is also known as delayed gastric emptying, is a disease that delays or prevents the transit of food from the stomach to the small intestine.Even though there is no obstruction in the stomach or intestines. Usually gastroparesis is common in patients with diabetes,and other neuropathy disorders and patients taking certain medications like anti-parkinson’s drugs,etc.Patients feels fullness even after eating only small amounts of food.
k) Gastric Outlet Obstruction
Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) refers to a disorder, when the pylorus, the stomach’s outflow, is blocked. It is a mechanical obstruction.People who have a gastric outlet blockage frequently vomit food that has collected in their stomach but cannot flow through the obstruction into their small intestines.This may be caused by a tumor obstructing the gastric outlet or cicatrization (scarring) of a duodenal ulcer.Rarely pancreatic head tumors and duodenal tumors may also cause GOO(gastric outlet obstruction).Diagnosed with Endoscopy and CT scan

| Hospital stay | 3–5 nights | Same day to 1 night |
| Back to desk work | 4–6 weeks | About 1 week |
| Wound infection risk | Higher | Substantially lower |
| Scarring | One long scar | Marks that fade |
| Still right when | Dense adhesions, bleeding, unclear anatomy | The large majority of planned cases |
Why patients choose this practice
Diagnosis before decision
No operation is scheduled on a guess. Many patients who arrive expecting surgery leave with a treatment plan instead.
Costs in writing, first
A written estimate covering surgeon, theatre, anaesthesia, implants and expected stay before you are asked to consent.
Keyhole most of the time
Ninety-five per cent of procedures are completed through keyhole access; the rest are open because open was the safer call.
Second opinions
If surgery has been advised elsewhere, bring the scans and the plan. Reviewing another surgeon’s recommendation is routine.
