Spleen & Lymph Nodes Surgery

Surgery on the spleen or lymph nodes is performed for disease management or diagnostic purposes. Indications include splenomegaly, trauma, lymphoma, infection, or diagnostic biopsy for malignancy. Under general anesthesia, open or laparoscopic approaches are used for spleen removal, while lymph nodes are excised carefully to avoid surrounding structures. Diagnosis relies on imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI) and blood tests. Postoperative care includes hospital monitoring, vaccinations if spleen removed, pain management, and wound care to ensure recovery and prevent complications.
