Description: Gastrorraphy is a surgical procedure that involves suturing the stomach, often performed after surgery or injury. This type of intervention is crucial for restoring the integrity of the organ and preventing complications such as bleeding or infections. Gastrorraphy may be necessary in various situations, such as after gastric resection, where a part of the stomach has been removed, or in cases of gastric perforations caused by ulcers or trauma. The technique can be performed either openly or laparoscopically, depending on the severity of the condition and the surgeon’s expertise. Suturing the stomach not only aims to close the wound but also to ensure that digestive function remains as intact as possible. The correct execution of gastrorraphy is essential for the patient’s recovery, as inadequate suturing can lead to gastric leaks, which are serious and potentially life-threatening complications. Therefore, this procedure requires a high level of skill and precision from the surgeon, as well as careful postoperative monitoring to ensure proper healing and recovery of the patient.
