Splenectomy and Shunt Surgeries
Splenectomy And Shunt Surgeries
Splenectomy and Shunt Surgeries
The spleen is an organ that is located under your rib cage on the upper left side of your abdomen. It helps fight infection and filters waste material such as old or damaged blood cells from your blood. Splenectomy is a surgical procedure to remove your spleen. This is done when the spleen is ruptured, becomes cancerous, contracts idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) an autoimmune condition that targets the blood cells. Removing the spleen can enable patients to lead a normal life.
In distal splenorenal shunt surgery, the vein from the spleen (called the splenic vein) is detached from the portal vein and reattached to the left kidney (renal) vein. This surgery selectively reduces the pressure in your varices (the large, swollen veins that develop across the stomach and esophagus) and controls the bleeding and clotting.
