A D2 gastrectomy takes away part or all of the stomach along with a wider group of nearby lymph nodes, and is used mostly to treat stomach cancer.

Cancer Research UK describes a subtotal gastrectomy as removing up to two-thirds of the stomach and a total gastrectomy as removing the whole stomach, with the 'D2' label referring to removal of nodes around the stomach and along its main blood vessels.

A smaller node dissection may be chosen for people who are less fit.

Keyhole and robotic gastrectomy are carried out in specialist centres, and Cancer Research UK points out that people wake in intensive care or a high dependency unit, so it is worth asking how commonly the team performs stomach cancer surgery.

Small, frequent meals are normally required, and after total gastrectomy dumping syndrome, weight loss and low vitamin B12 are common, so a dietitian supports long-term eating.

Flying home: UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance recommends no flights for 10 days following open abdominal surgery, which usually means about a fortnight in Gurgaon.

A Gurgaon quote for D2 gastrectomy is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Extent: partial or total.
• Approach: keyhole, robotic or open.
• Intensive care: after surgery.
• Chemotherapy: before or after surgery.

Cancer surgery costs vary with the stage, how much is taken out and any further therapy, so complex cases in Gurgaon can cost more than the range above.

Digestive and abdominal operations in Gurgaon are carried out by surgical teams in multi-speciality hospitals with critical care and endoscopy on site.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.
