Spleen Conditions

The spleen is an organ located in the upper left abdomen, near the stomach. It plays a key role in filtering blood, fighting infections, and recycling old red blood cells. While not essential for survival, spleen conditions can affect overall health and may require treatment.

​

  • Splenic Trauma & Rupture – Emergency condition requiring removal or repair of the spleen.

  • Hematologic Disorders Requiring Splenectomy – Conditions like immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), hereditary spherocytosis, and sickle cell disease.

  • Splenic Tumors & Cysts – Benign or malignant growths in the spleen that may require surgical removal.

  • Splenic Abscess & Infections – Pus-filled infections requiring drainage or splenectomy.

  • Hypersplenism & Enlarged Spleen (Splenomegaly) – Overactive spleen causing excessive blood cell destruction.
