The spleen may need to be removed due to injury, certain blood disorders, cysts, tumors, or other diseases. This procedure, known as a splenectomy, requires a high degree of surgical expertise. At SurgicalSol, Dr. Asif Iqbal specializes in performing splenectomies using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques whenever possible. The procedure involves making several small incisions. A high-definition camera provides a detailed view, allowing Dr. Iqbal to meticulously dissect the spleen from its surrounding attachments and blood supply before placing it in a special bag and removing it.
The laparoscopic approach offers significant advantages for patients, including a much less painful recovery, reduced blood loss, a lower risk of infection, and a shorter hospital stay compared to open surgery. While life without a spleen requires certain lifelong precautions, such as vaccinations, the surgical outcome at SurgicalSol is focused on maximum safety and minimal physical impact. Under Dr. Asif Iqbal’s expert care, patients receive world-class treatment for a complex procedure, ensuring the best possible results and a smooth recovery.
