Laparoscopic Splenectomy

A minimally invasive procedure to remove the spleen, used for certain blood disorders, splenic tumors, cysts, or injury, performed through a few small incisions for a smoother recovery.

About The Procedure

Careful removal of the spleen

The spleen helps filter blood and support the immune system. When it becomes enlarged, damaged, or involved by certain blood disorders, cysts, or tumors, removing it can relieve symptoms and, in some cases, treat the underlying condition.

When appropriate, Dr. Talbert removes the spleen laparoscopically, through a few small incisions using a camera and specialized instruments, which usually means less pain and a faster recovery than open surgery.

Because the spleen plays a role in fighting infection, Dr. Talbert reviews your history, coordinates the right pre-surgery vaccines and long-term precautions, and explains what to expect at every step.
