Gastrogastrostomy is a surgical procedure in which a connection is created between two parts of the stomach, typically the greater curvature and the lesser curvature. This procedure is usually performed to treat certain medical conditions, such as gastric outlet obstruction or gastric stenosis, in which food cannot pass through the stomach normally. During the gastrogastrostomy procedure, a surgeon creates a small incision in the stomach and creates an opening between the two parts of the stomach. This opening is then sutured or stapled to keep it in place. Once the connection is made, food can pass through the opening and into the lower part of the stomach. Gastrogastrostomy is considered a relatively safe surgical procedure, but it does carry some risks, including bleeding, infection, and damage to nearby organs. Recovery time varies depending on the patient's overall health and the extent of the surgery, but most patients can expect to spend several days in the hospital after the procedure.
