Before the operation, the doctor will recommend a comprehensive physical examination to rule out any potential complications that need to be addressed before the procedure.
Blood transfusions are also performed before to surgery to ensure that the patient has adequate blood cells in his or her body after the spleen is removed.
After the spleen is removed, the doctor will offer a pneumococcal vaccination to prevent infections.

A minimally invasive surgery and an open operation are also options for removing the spleen. Depending on the patient’s condition, the surgeon chooses which one to use.
Under the influence of general anaesthesia, the procedure is performed. The surgeon uses an open technique to make an incision in the centre of the abdomen, separating the other tissues and muscles. When the spleen is visible, surgical tools are used to remove it.
Once the patient is unconscious, the procedure begins with incisions around the belly button and the insertion of a tiny device known as a port, which creates a hole in the abdomen that will be filled with gas (carbon dioxide).
