What Is a Splenectomy?
A splenectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the spleen. It is recommended when the spleen is damaged, enlarged (splenomegaly), overactive (hypersplenism), affected by cysts, tumors, abscesses, or causing destruction of healthy blood cells due to hematological conditions. Removing the diseased spleen restores normal blood cell levels, prevents complications, and improves overall health and well-being.

Splenectomy is often recommended to prevent complications, restore normal blood function, and improve overall well-being. The specific reason for surgery varies by patient, and Dr. Vishal Soni carefully evaluates each case to determine the safest and most effective approach. Dr. Soni performs a thorough evaluation to determine the safest and most effective approach for each patient.
Conditions like ITP (Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura), hemolytic anemia, or hereditary spherocytosis that destroy healthy blood cells.
Overactive spleen causing low blood counts and fatigue.
Accidental spleen damage that can be life-threatening if untreated.
Fluid-filled sacs or infections requiring surgical removal.
Growths within the spleen affecting overall health.
Blood flow issues that put strain on the spleen.
Dr. Soni’s mastery in robotic and laparoscopic surgery ensures smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and superior cosmetic outcomes.
High-definition 3D vision and wristed instruments allow careful dissection around major vessels, reducing bleeding and improving safety, even in difficult cases.
His background in multi-quadrant, reoperative, and high-complexity procedures directly translates into safer and more effective splenectomy outcomes.

Splenectomy is a carefully planned surgical procedure designed to safely remove all or part of the spleen while minimising risks and preserving surrounding structures. Dr. Vishal Soni begins with a thorough diagnostic evaluation and chooses the most appropriate minimally invasive or robotic approach based on the patient’s condition. The surgery involves precise mobilization of the spleen, secure control of blood vessels, and safe removal through small incisions, followed by personalized post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery and long-term health.
Includes imaging (ultrasound, CT scan), blood tests, and pre-surgical vaccination to reduce infection risks.
Most patients undergo laparoscopic or robot-assisted removal, depending on spleen size and complexity.
The spleen is carefully mobilised, blood vessels secured, and tissue removed through minimally invasive ports.
Vaccinations and infection-prevention guidance are personalized to ensure patient safety and long-term health.
Recovery & Long-Term Success
Most patients recover within 7–10 days after minimally invasive or robotic splenectomy. With Dr. Soni’s protocols, pain is minimised, mobility is restored early, and routine activities can resume quickly. Precise surgical technique and careful post-operative care ensure excellent long-term outcomes, low complication rates, and a safe return to daily life with confidence.
