Splenectomy is a surgical procedure to
Remove spleen — an organ that sits under
rib cage on the left side of abdomen.
TYPES OF SPLENECTOMY
1. Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) splenectomy
During laparoscopic splenectomy, the surgeon makes
four small incisions in abdomen. A tube with a tiny video
camera is inserted into abdomen through one of the
incisions. Surgeon watches the video images on a
monitor in the operating room as special surgical tools
are inserted through the other incisions in abdomen and
spleen is removed. The incisions are then closed.
2 . Traditional (open) splenectomy.
During open splenectomy surgeon makes an
incision in the middle of abdomen. Muscle and
other tissue are moved aside to reveal spleen.
surgeon then removes the spleen, and closes the
incision.
Laparoscopic splenectomy isn't appropriate for
everyone. A ruptured spleen usually requires open
splenectomy. In some cases surgeon may begin with
a laparoscopic approach and find it necessary to
make a larger incision because of scar tissue from
previous operations or other complications.
•Receive blood transfusions before surgery to ensure have
enough blood cells following removal of spleen.
•Receive a pneumococcal vaccine to help prevent
infection after spleen is removed.
•Temporarily stop taking certain medications and
supplements.
•Avoid eating or drinking for a certain amount of time
before the surgery.
The spleen is an organ shaped like a shoe
that lies relative to the 9th and 11th ribs
and is located in the left
hypochondrium and partly in the
epigastrium. Thus, the spleen is situated
between the fundus of the stomach and the
diaphragm. The spleen is very vascular and
reddish purple in color; its size and weight
vary. A healthy spleen is not palpable.
The spleen is a lymphatic organ interposed in the blood
stream. The surface projection of the longitudinal axis of
the spleen is the tenth rib. It is concealed anteriorly by the
greater curvature of the stomach and the left colic
(splenic) flexure. Its weight varies from 50 to 250g.
HILUM
The hilum can be found on the inferomedial part of the gastric impression (see
the image above). The hilum transmits the splenic vessels and nerves and
provides attachment to the gastrosplenic and splenorenal (lienorenal)
ligaments
PERITONEAL RELATIONS
The spleen is surrounded by peritoneum and is suspended by multiple ligaments,
as follows:
• The gastrosplenic ligament
•
The splenorenal ligament
• The phrenicocolic ligament
VISCERAL RELATIONS
The visceral surface of the spleen
contacts the following organs:
•
Anterior surface of the left kidney .
•
Splenic flexure of the colon
•
The fundus of the stomach
•
Tail of pancreas
FUNCTIONS OF SPLEEN
There are three major functions of the spleen and these
are handled by three different tissues within the spleen.

Concerned with phagocytosis of erythrocytes and cell debris from
the blood stream. This same tissue may produce foci of haemopoiesis
when rbc's are needed.
 Along with the power of the spleen to contract, provides a method for
expelling the contained blood to meet increased circulatory demands in
certain animals.

Provides lymphocytes and a source of plasma cells and hence
antibodies for the cellular and humoral specific immune defenses
Vascular supply
The splenic artery supplies blood to the spleen.This artery is the largest branch
of the celiac trunk and reaches the spleen's hilum by passing through the
splenorenal ligament. It divides into multiple branches at the hilum.It divides
into straight vessels called penicillin ellipsoids, and arterial capillaries in the
spleen.
NERVE SUPPLY
Sympathetic fibers are derived from the celiac plexus.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Proper splenic tissue has no lymphatics; however,some arise
from the capsule and trabeculae and drain to the
pancreaticosplenic lymph nodes.
VENOUS DRAINAGE
The splenic vein provides the principal venous drainage of the
spleen. It runs behind the pancreas (after forming at the hilum)
before joining the superior mesenteric vein behind the neck of
the pancreas to form the portal vein. The short gastric, left
gastro-omental, pancreatic, and inferior mesenteric veins are its
tributaries
VENOUS
DRAINAGE
•Ruptured spleen.
If spleen ruptures due to a severe abdominal injury or because
of enlargement of spleen (splenomegaly), the result may be life-threatening,
internal bleeding.
•Blood disorder.
 Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP),
 Polycythemia vera,
 Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia.
• Cancer.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia,
 hodgkin lymphoma and non-hodgkin lymphoma
 Hairy cell leukemia.

• Infection.

A severe infection or a large collection of pus surrounded by
inflammation (abscess) within your spleen that doesn't respond to
other treatment may require splenectomy
• Cyst or tumor.
 Noncancerous cysts or tumors inside the spleen may
require splenectomy if they become large or are difficult to
remove completely.
•
Blood vessel problems
 Aneurysm in the spleen's artery
 Blood clot in the spleen's blood vessels

Infections
• Streptococcus pneumonia
• Neisseria meningitides
• Haemophilus influenzae
These bacteria cause severe pneumonia,
meningitis, and other serious infections.
Vaccinations to cover these bacteria should be
given in patients without a spleen.
Other
complications
splenectomy include:
•

related
to
Blood clot in the vein that carries blood to the
liver
Hernia at the incision site
Infection at the incision site
Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
Lung collapse
Injury to the pancreas, stomach, and colon
Call the doctor right away if you have any of the
following after a splenectomy
• Bleeding.
:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Chills.
Cough or shortness of breath.
Difficulty eating or drinking.
Increased swelling of the abdomen.
Pain that doesn't go away with
prescribed medications.
Increasing redness, pain, or discharge (pus) at the incision site.
Nausea or vomiting that persists.
• Fever over 101 degree.
Hospitalization for 2 days .
• Iv fluids .
• Antibiotics .
• To guard against infections, doctor may recommend a
pneumonia vaccine, as well as yearly flu vaccines.
• Immunizations against pneumococcus species as a
routine of postoperative management. Immunization
should be administered anywhere from 24 hours after
injury to 2 weeks.
•
Tachypnea, ronchi, crackles, cloudy foul smelling urine, urgency
frequency, irritation ulcers of oral, vaginal or other mucosa;
redness or drainage from wound or invasive sites.
•
Hypotension, shock-like state. Indicates potential for
meningeal infection .
Monitor, Describe, Record
• White blood cells increases, urine, blood and wound cultures
and sensitivities. WBC of > 10,000 cu/mm positive cultures for
infectious organisms.
• Immunoglobulins. IgM decreases, IgG ad IgA within normal
ranges indicating deficiencies.
• Vital signs and temperature every four hours. Indicates
presence of infection
•
Antibiotics specific to identified infectious agent.
•
Antipyretic (acetaminophen.
• Handwash techniques before giving care.
• Aseptic technique for any invasive procedures.
•
Adequate fluids, nutritional and activity support.
• Meticulous mouth and perineal care.
High risk for infection related to inadequate secondary
defenses by immunosuppresion resulting from decreased
immunoglobulins
Acute pain related to surgical incision
Risk for defficient fluid volume related to heamorrhage caused by
surgery of highly vascular organ.
Knowledge deficit regarding treatment regimen and post op care .
