Gastric resection for malignancy, whether performed via traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted gastrectomy, remains a cornerstone in the management of gastric cancer. This is a critical procedure in managing gastric cancer, aiming to remove tumors while preserving healthy tissue and function completely. Surgical options for gastric cancer, including total, proximal, distal, and pylorus-preserving distal gastrectomies, are tailored to tumor location, extent, and patient factors, aiming for complete tumor removal while preserving healthy tissue and function. Lymph node dissection is frequently required; advanced cases of gastric cancer may also require multivisceral resection to achieve optimal outcomes.Postoperative outcomes and long-term survival depend on factors such as tumor stage, patient fitness, and the extent of surgical intervention. Furthermore, emerging modalities such as endoscopic submucosal dissection are expanding treatment options and enhancing outcomes for specific patients with early-stage disease. This activity provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles, techniques, and nuances of gastric resection for malignancy, addressing preoperative evaluation, surgical planning, intraoperative decision-making, and tailored postoperative management. In addition, this activity also fosters interdisciplinary teamwork and knowledge exchange among healthcare providers, enhancing clinical skills, expanding treatment options, and promoting collaboration across disciplines to improve outcomes for patients with gastric cancer through evidence-based practice and multidisciplinary care.
