Description of Spleen Removal Surgery:

What is Spleen Removal Surgery?
Spleen removal surgery, known as splenectomy, is a surgical procedure in which a diseased or damaged spleen is partially or completely removed.

How is Splenectomy Performed?
Spleen removal surgery can be performed by an open surgery or by a laparoscopic method. The surgery may be done to completely remove the spleen that is enlarged or ruptured, or the spleen may also be partially removed.

Open-complete splenectomy to remove an enlarged spleen

An incision is made in the middle of the abdomen, or on the left side of the abdomen below the ribs.
The artery connected to the spleen is tied to avoid blood loss.
The ligaments that hold the spleen are detached and the spleen is removed.
If required, tissue samples are extracted and sent for lab analysis.
After the surgery is over, the incision is closed.

Open-complete splenectomy to remove a ruptured spleen

An incision is made in the middle of the abdomen, or on the left side of the abdomen below the ribs.
The spleen is approached from the underside and the artery connected to the spleen is tied.
The ligaments that hold the spleen are detached and the ruptured spleen is removed.
After the surgery is over, the incision is closed.

Partial splenectomy

Sometimes only part of the spleen is removed to reduce pain that is caused by an enlarged spleen.
In partial splenectomy, the patient is less vulnerable to infection.

Laparoscopic splenectomy
A laparoscopic splenectomy may be performed if the spleen is less than 20 centimeters long, when measured in a CT scan.

Three to five incisions are made on the patient’s abdomen.
A laparoscope, which is an endoscopic instrument with a light and camera attached to it, is inserted through one of the incisions.
Other surgical instruments are inserted through the other incisions.
Gas is pumped into the abdomen to inflate it, so that the surgeon gets more space to work.
The spleen is removed using the laparoscope and other surgical instruments.

How to Prepare for the Spleen Removal Surgery?

The patient needs a complete physical check up.
Some blood tests and imaging tests are also required.
Blood transfusion may also be required.
The patient may need some immunization vaccines.
If the patient is a smoker, the patient should quit smoking some weeks before the surgery.
Certain medications that the patient may be taking should be stopped a week before the surgery.
The patients should inform the doctor about any ailments and medical conditions.
