Double-flap surgery to reduce acid reflux after stomach cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique called the double-flap method during laparoscopic partial stomach removal. It aims to lower the chance of acid reflux after surgery, which can improve quality of life for people with upper stomach cancer.
