A splenectomy is a surgical operation to remove the spleen either partially or completely. In most cases, a total splenectomy is performed, and in some cases, a partial splenectomy is done to preserve some amount of immune function. Splenectomy surgery becomes necessary when the spleen becomes damaged, diseased, or creates a life-threatening situation. Over the years, the surgical techniques concerning the spleen have become advanced, with laparoscopic and robotic techniques replacing the traditional open surgery in many cases, offering patients less pain, smaller cuts, and quicker recovery. The decision to perform a splenectomy depends on how serious the medical condition is and how severe the symptoms are. The procedure may be required for traumatic reasons and non-traumatic reasons, like idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), hereditary spherocytosis, thalassemia, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Splenic tumors or cysts, Hypersplenism, and Infiltrative diseases like lymphoma, leukemia, and Gaucher’s disease can cause splenic enlargement and dysfunction.
