Splenectomy Surgery In India

 

Splenectomy Surgery

 

A splenectomy is the surgical procedure where the spleen is removed. The spleen plays a part in maintaining a healthy immune system and cleans the blood of foreign matter. It helps eliminate the platelets that have antibodies bound to them. Theoretically, if the spleen is removed, the platelets will stay...

Splenectomies have been used to treat ITP since 1913. The published success rates vary between 50-60% although the measurement criteria for success is not standard. Splenectomized patients are at an increased risk for infections. As the time since splenectomy increases, the positive response to the procedure decreases. There is no effective method to predict a patient's response to a splenectomy...

 

Symptoms and Conditions

Immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). ITP is a disease in which platelets are destroyed by antibodies in the body's immune system. A splenectomy is the definitive treatment for this disease and is effective in about 70% of cases of chronic ITP. Trauma. The spleen can be ruptured by blunt as well as penetrating injuries to the chest or abdomen. Car accidents are the most common cause of blunt traumatic injury to the spleen. Abscesses. Abscesses of the spleen are relatively uncommon but have a high mortality rate. Rupture of the splenic artery. This artery sometimes ruptures as a complication of pregnancy. Hereditary elliptocytosis. This is a relatively rare disorder. It is similar to HS in that it is characterized by red blood cells with defective membranes that are destroyed by the spleen...

 

Risk

Any surgery carries a small risk of infection or bleeding. To minimise the risk of infection your child will be given an infusion of antibiotics while he or she is in theatre. This will protect him or her against infection following the operation. To minimise the risk of bleeding, your child will have blood tests before the operation so that blood can be available to be given as a transfusion during the operation. If these blood tests are not satisfactory, your child’s operation will be rescheduled for when he or she is well enough...

 

Procedure

Complete splenectomy : -

Removal of Enlarged Spleen : - A splenectomy is performed under general anesthesia. The most common technique is used to remove greatly enlarged spleens. After the surgeon makes a cut (incision) in the abdomen, the artery to the spleen is tied to prevent blood loss and reduce the size of the spleen.

Removal of Ruptured Spleen : - When the spleen has been ruptured by trauma, the surgeon approaches the organ from its underside and ties the splenic artery before removing the ruptured organ.

Partial splenectomy : - In some cases, the surgeon removes only part of the spleen. This procedure is considered by some to be a useful compromise that reduces pain caused by an enlarged spleen while leaving the patient less vulnerable to infection.

Laparoscopic splenectomy : - Laparoscopic splenectomy, or removal of the spleen through several small incisions, has been performed more frequently in recent years. Laparoscopic surgery, which is sometimes called keyhole surgery, is done with smaller surgical instruments inserted through very short incisions, with the assistance of a tiny camera and video monitor.
