#agastria

• Agastria — A rare pathological term or archaic medical word designating the complete, congenital, or surgical absence of the stomach (agastria); by extension, a functional or structural state in which gastric secretion and stomach-level digestion are completely halted. Clinically, the term reflects a severe anatomical anomaly requiring major therapeutic and nutritional restructurings of the digestive tract.
• Agastria — An extremely rare congenital malformation consisting of the total absence of the stomach from birth; by extension, the anatomical and clinical state resulting from a total gastrectomy (complete surgical removal of the organ). Structurally, this condition disrupts the normal digestive pathway, requiring a surgical restructuring of the tract by directly connecting the esophagus to the jejunum (esophagojejunostomy) and a strict nutritional regimen.
