Spleen Removal Surgery
Spleen removal surgery is medically termed splenectomy, which can now be done laparoscopically. A small keyhole punch is made below the rib bone to remove the spleen, and the recuperation time of this surgery can be as short as 2 to 4 weeks. A splenectomy is prescribed in cases of a ruptured spleen( trauma), enlarged spleen, blood disorders, cancers involving the spleen, severe infections, benign cysts, or spleen tumors.
