Expert in Abdominal Trauma & Laparoscopic Splenectomy

The spleen is a blood-filled organ in the upper left part of the abdomen. It is beneath the ribs and behind the stomach.

It is a red blood cell storage organ and contains special white blood cells called macrophages (disease-fighting cells).

The spleen filters blood to remove unwanted bacteria, parasites, and other organisms that can cause infection. It removes old and damaged blood cells and also can produce red blood cells and certain types of white blood cells.

The spleen can affect the platelet count, the red blood cell count and even the white blood count. Removing your spleen is major surgery and you would lead a life with a compromised immune system.

Hence it is only performed when truly necessary.

But the benefits of splenectomy are that it can resolve several health problems such as blood diseases, cancer, and infection that could not be treated with any other treatment or procedure.

The possible reasons to go for Laparoscopic Splenectomy (Surgical removal of the spleen)

This procedure is the gold standard procedure to remove the spleen, but this procedure is very complex and delicate due to its close connections with the stomach, pancreas and colon etc.

Dr Rahul Raghavapuram MBBS, DNB (General Surgery and Gastroenterology) is a fellowship-trained specialist in such surgeries and has done many such complicated surgeries successfully to make many patients happy.

He is very focused in his approach to analysing your reports critically and planning for the required procedure to get the best results.

After the surgery, you may experience some pain due to the surgery for which you will be given medications.

Regardless, after this procedure you will be able to return to a regular diet as soon as possible, not only that, you will also be able to return to your normal activities.
