Organ-preserving surgery is a priority direction in Israeli medicine. At the Top Ichilov clinic, even extensive lesions of internal organs are removed using minimally invasive surgical methods, maximizing organ preservation, its functionality, and not reducing the patient's quality of life in the slightest.
Laparoscopic gastrectomy in Israel involves the removal of part of the stomach or even the entire organ in cases of tumor lesions, severe ulcer disease, and is performed through a minimally invasive approach that does not require prolonged hospitalization and rehabilitation. Today, laparoscopic gastrectomy in Israel (its cost is calculated individually) is even used as a method for treating obesity – the removal of part of the stomach helps reduce appetite and decrease the volume of food intake.
How laparoscopic gastrectomy is performed in Israel, prices for diagnostic and treatment procedures at the Top Ichilov clinic – all this information will be provided to you by our managers after you submit a request on our website.
Laparoscopic Gastrectomy in Israel: Reviews Indicate High Quality
Which method of stomach removal to choose – open gastrectomy or laparoscopic, total or partial – is decided by a panel of doctors after a complete examination of the patient.
- Open gastrectomy in Israeli clinics is used less frequently due to its high trauma and significant risks for the patient – it requires deep anesthesia, lasts longer than laparoscopic surgery, and is associated with risks of infection of the surgical wound, pain syndrome, and a prolonged recovery period (open wounds heal longer). Open surgery for gastric resection is performed only under strict indications when the laparoscopic method is contraindicated.
- Laparoscopic gastrectomy can be total or partial. Partialgastrectomy involves the resection of part of the stomach, while totalgastrectomy involves the removal of the entire organ along with adjacent sections of the digestive tract and lymph nodes. In any case, the surgical intervention is performed not through open incisions but through 3-4 punctures in the anterior abdominal wall and under general anesthesia. A laparoscope, a light source, a miniature video camera, and microsurgical instruments are introduced through these punctures (or mini-incisions). The camera displays the image on a monitor in magnified form, allowing the surgeon to perform all manipulations clearly. To facilitate surgical actions, internal organs are lifted closer to the abdominal wall using carbon dioxide introduced into the abdominal cavity. At the end of the operation, the instruments are removed, and the gas escapes through the created openings. Post-gastrectomy procedures include creating an anastomosis – connecting the esophagus to the intestine after total removal of the organ or remaining parts of the stomach with the intestine. The patient's stay in the clinic lasts up to 4 days, and a strict diet and a gentle activity regimen are prescribed for 30 days.
- A new method for treating obesity is the sleevegastrectomy – longitudinal removal of part of the stomach and formation of a sleeve (tube) from the remaining organ tissues, up to 1 cm wide. After this operation, the reduced stomach can accept a limited amount of food. Additionally, with the reduction of stomach tissue, the level of hunger hormone decreases. Reviews of sleeve laparoscopic gastrectomy in Israel indicate its high effectiveness – significant reduction in hunger and the sensation of quick satiety.

Diagnosis Before Treatment – The Key to a Well-Planned Operation
Before starting therapy for any disease, the doctors at Top Ichilov conduct diagnostics using new ultra-precise equipment to clearly plan the therapeutic strategy and correctly select the treatment method.
The entire diagnostic program before gastrectomy is completed within 3 days. On the day of arrival, the patient meets with a doctor, where the specialist reviews the available medical documents to determine if additional diagnostic procedures are necessary. If needed, the doctor decides in favor of diagnostics at Top Ichilov. Typically, all procedures prescribed by the doctor are completed by the patient the next day. By the third day, they receive a treatment plan that specifies the method of execution and the cost of laparoscopic gastrectomy (in Israel, it is much lower than in Germany and the USA).
The diagnostic procedures performed before gastrectomy include:
- laboratory tests;
- X-ray;
- fibrogastroscopy;
- tomography (CT, MRI).
Laparoscopic Gastrectomy in Israel – Prices
Analyzing the prices in the medical services market, it can be noted that in Israeli clinics they are much lower than in Western medical centers, with a difference of about 30-45%. At the same time, the level of service in Israeli clinics is on par with the high standards of Western medicine. In addition to affordable prices, Israeli medicine attracts with the absence of a visa regime (especially relevant for residents of the Russian Federation) and the short duration of flights.
