Guest guest Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 I don't know if this has been answered for you or know, but transected means that the stomach is cut apart from the pouch, physically separated. In many surgeries, the pouch is separated by several rows of staples from the rest of the stomach, but is still physically in one piece. The other option is to have the remaining part of the stomach removed from the body at the time of the surgery, which is called a partial gastectomy (partial for part of, and gastro for stomach, and ectomoy for removal of; removal of part of the stomach). There are pro's and con's of each way. The staple line disruption is most common is the option where the remainder of stomach remains attached because of the close proximity. However, there have been instances where the transected stomach has reconnected itself with the pouch and formed a fistula, which in essence, physiologically, is not different than a sld, because the pouch contents are getting into the old stomach. doc carolyn just my opinion, of course transected vs non transected Can someone explain transected to me? Also if you are transected then can you still get a staple line disruption?
