If you're experiencing pain in the upper left side of your abdomen, it could be related to spleen issues. The spleen may need to be removed due to conditions like a ruptured spleen, enlargement, blood disorders, or infections. Don't ignore the pain – consult an expert for a thorough evaluation of your condition.
Laparoscopic surgery has become the preferred treatment for both benign and malignant spleen conditions that require splenectomy. Over the last few decades, various techniques have been developed, and the indications for laparoscopic surgery are generally the same as for open surgery, except in traumatic cases where its use remains debated. The minimally invasive approach to spleen surgery has proven to be safe and effective, offering numerous advantages over open surgery and yielding better results. At Health Hub Pakistan, we use three patient positions—anterior, semi-lateral, and full horizontal—each with its own benefits and drawbacks, with the choice depending on the surgeon's preferences.
Minimally invasive splenectomy has become the standard treatment for spleen diseases requiring surgical intervention. Laparoscopic splenectomy not only offers the advantages of minimally invasive surgery but also provides superior outcomes compared to open surgery. The lateral approach provides better visualization of the splenic hilum and the tail of the pancreas, minimizing the risk of injury and improving the dissection of ligaments. If the surgery needs to be converted to an open procedure, a subcostal incision may be made. This approach results in shorter surgical times, fewer perioperative and postoperative complications, and a shorter hospital stay compared to the anterior approach.

At Health Hub, you will be placed under general anesthesia, ensuring you are completely relaxed during the procedure. A cannula (a small hollow tube) is inserted into the abdomen by Dr. Daood Ayub, and your abdomen will be inflated with carbon dioxide gas to create space for the surgery. A laparoscope (a small telescope connected to a camera) is inserted through one of the cannulas, which projects a video image of your internal organs and spleen onto a screen. Several cannulas are placed in different areas of your abdomen, allowing the surgeon to insert instruments to remove the spleen. The procedure also involves checking for accessory (extra) spleens, which occur in about 15% of people. Once the spleen is detached, it is placed inside a special bag and removed through one of the small incisions after being cut into smaller pieces (morcelated).
Splenectomy is a surgical procedure for removing the spleen due to damage, disease, or malfunction. The spleen, located on the upper left side of the abdomen, filters blood and helps the body fight infections.
Common reasons for splenectomy in children include blood-related disorders such as anemia, thalassemia, and ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura). Occasionally, the spleen may need to be removed after a traumatic injury causing severe damage.
The splenectomy procedure typically lasts two to three hours. It can be performed through different techniques depending on the child’s condition, including:
• Laparoscopic splenectomy
• Open splenectomy
• Partial splenectomy
After laparoscopic splenectomy, the child can return home within 2-3 days, while open surgery requires 4-6 days of recovery. At Health Hub, your child is in the safe hands of our highly experienced and compassionate child surgeon, Dr. Daood Ayub, who is dedicated to ensuring a successful procedure and a speedy recovery.
Life without a spleen: A child can live a full, active life without a spleen, as other organs take over its functions. However, they may be more susceptible to infections and will need additional vaccines for protection. While the spleen helps fight infections, children can thrive without it with proper care.
