The spleen plays a vital role in filtering blood and supporting the immune system. Splenic diseases include conditions such as splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), trauma, cysts, abscesses, blood disorders, and tumors. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, fullness, fatigue, or frequent infections. Dr. Asif Iqbal specializes in the surgical management of splenic disorders, offering both laparoscopic and open approaches for effective treatment.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Diagnosis involves physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI to evaluate spleen size, structure, and function. Accurate assessment ensures the most appropriate surgical plan. Dr. Asif Iqbal carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether a minimally invasive or open surgical approach is required.

Treatment Options

Treatment may involve partial or total splenectomy depending on the disease. Laparoscopic splenectomy offers smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery, while open surgery may be necessary in complex or emergency cases, such as trauma. Dr. Asif Iqbal provides precise surgical intervention, ensuring patient safety, optimal recovery, and long-term outcomes for a wide range of splenic conditions.
