HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
How is Laparoscopic Splenectomy Surgery Performed?
Laparoscopic splenectomy is performed under general anesthesia through small abdominal incisions, using a laparoscope and specialized instruments to safely remove the spleen.
Preoperative Assessment
Before surgery, Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda performs a comprehensive evaluation including blood investigations, ultrasound or CT scan of the abdomen, assessment of spleen size, and anesthetic fitness. Patients are also evaluated for vaccination requirements before splenectomy to reduce the risk of certain infections after surgery.
General Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout the surgery. The anesthesia team continuously monitors heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and overall patient safety.
Surgical Procedure
Small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert a high-definition laparoscope and specialized surgical instruments. The spleen is carefully separated from its surrounding attachments, and the splenic blood vessels are securely sealed and divided. The spleen is then placed inside a protective retrieval bag and removed through one of the small incisions. Every effort is made to minimize bleeding while preserving nearby organs such as the stomach, pancreas, and colon.
Specimen Removal
Once the spleen has been safely detached, it is enclosed in a sterile specimen retrieval bag and removed through a slightly enlarged incision if necessary. The abdominal cavity is carefully inspected for bleeding before the small incisions are closed.
Postoperative Care
Following surgery, patients are monitored for pain control, bleeding, infection, and overall recovery. Early mobilization, respiratory exercises, hydration, and gradual resumption of oral intake are encouraged to promote a smooth recovery. Patients also receive guidance regarding long-term infection prevention following spleen removal.
RECOVERY
Recovery After Laparoscopic Splenectomy Surgery
Recovery after laparoscopic splenectomy involves gradual activity, balanced nutrition, medication adherence, vaccinations, wound care, and regular follow-up with your surgeon.
01.
Hospital Stay
Most patients remain in the hospital for 2 to 4 days, depending on their overall health and postoperative recovery.
02.
Diet
Patients usually begin with clear liquids shortly after surgery and gradually progress to a normal balanced diet as tolerated. Adequate hydration and proper nutrition help support healing.
03.
Activity
Walking is encouraged on the day after surgery. Most patients return to light daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks, while heavy lifting and strenuous physical activities should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.
04.
Follow-up
Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor wound healing, blood counts, recovery, and vaccination status. Patients also receive long-term advice on reducing the risk of infections after splenectomy.
