Removal of the spleen can be required as a planned, elective procedure for certain blood disorders or cancers. This is a complex procedure with a significant risk of bleeding. HPB surgeons have experience removing the spleen, however, as it is often required during surgery on the body or tail of the pancreas. As a result, Dr Srinivasa offers splenectomy in his practice.
Laparoscopic: involves cutting the spleen free from its attachments and removing it through several small incisions (cuts) in the upper left abdomen.
Open: an incision is made in the upper left abdomen, the diseased or damaged spleen is then separated from its attachments and removed.
