New surgery to reduce acid reflux after stomach cancer operation
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special sewing technique called the double-flap method during surgery to remove the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if it helps prevent acid reflux, a common side effect, and is for people with early-stage stomach cancer.
