SPLEEN SURGERIES
Spleen surgeries address conditions ranging from trauma and infections to cysts and tumors, ensuring the organ’s role in immunity and blood filtration is considered. Surgical intervention is carefully planned based on the patient’s condition, overall health, and the complexity of the procedure. Minimally invasive techniques are preferred when feasible, allowing faster recovery, reduced pain, and fewer complications.
Our Procedures Include:
Splenectomy (open or laparoscopic)
Splenectomy involves the complete removal of the spleen and is indicated in cases of severe trauma, blood disorders, tumors, or certain infections. The laparoscopic approach is minimally invasive, involving small incisions, and is associated with faster recovery and less postoperative pain, while open surgery may be necessary in complex or emergency situations. Post-splenectomy, patients may require vaccinations and prophylactic measures to reduce the risk of infections.
Splenic cyst or abscess drainage (open or laparoscopic)
Drainage procedures are performed to remove fluid collections or pus from cysts or abscesses within the spleen. Laparoscopic drainage is preferred for its minimal invasiveness, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery. Open drainage may be needed in cases of large, complicated, or infected cysts. These procedures help alleviate pain, prevent rupture, and restore normal splenic function.
Surgery for splenic trauma
Surgery for splenic trauma is often performed urgently to control bleeding and prevent life-threatening complications. Depending on the extent of injury, surgeons may repair the spleen, remove damaged tissue, or perform a total splenectomy. The choice between open or laparoscopic surgery depends on the patient’s stability, injury severity, and available surgical expertise. Postoperative care focuses on monitoring for bleeding, infection, and ensuring adequate immune protection.
Spleen surgeries are critical for managing trauma, infections, and structural abnormalities while prioritizing patient safety and recovery. By employing both open and minimally invasive techniques, these procedures aim to restore splenic function where possible, reduce complications, and support overall immune health. Expert surgical planning ensures that patients receive personalized care tailored to their specific condition.
