Gastrectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the stomach. 1  If only part of the stomach is removed, it is called partial gastrectomy.  If the whole stomach is removed, it is called total gastrectomy.
Vagotomy, in which the vagus nerve is cut to interrupt messages from the brain that stimulate acid secretion in the stomach. This surgery may impair stomach emptying. A recent variation that cuts only parts of the nerve may reduce this complication. Antrectomy, in which the lower part of the stomach is removed.
