Gastric Neurofibroma Surgery Complications

Endoscopic treatment for gastric neurofibromas is generally associated with a low incidence of postoperative complications. Patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures tend to experience fewer issues, while those who undergo open surgery may face a higher risk of complications. Common complications include inflammation and bleeding at the anastomotic site, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. These symptoms often improve with appropriate oral medications.

In cases where tumor margins are not completely removed during the initial surgery, a second procedure may be necessary. A localized resection is typically performed if only residual tumor tissue is detected. However, if postoperative pathology reveals malignant transformation, a more extensive resection is required to ensure complete tumor removal. This approach helps reduce the risk of recurrence and improves long-term outcomes.

Proper postoperative care and regular follow-up are essential for early detection and management of any potential complications. Patients should maintain close communication with their healthcare providers to monitor recovery and address any concerns promptly. Advances in surgical techniques continue to improve the safety and effectiveness of gastric neurofibroma treatments.
