Is splenectomy minimally invasive or open

Splenectomy can be performed either through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive surgery. 1. Open surgery: In case of bleeding caused by splenic rupture, hemorrhagic shock often occurs and the condition is rather critical, usually open surgery is used, which can have a good effect on stopping bleeding. For hypersplenism or occupational lesions of the spleen, removal of the spleen is needed to treat the disease, and open surgery is usually available. 2. Minimally invasive surgery: mainly through laparoscopic surgery, most of the spleen diseases can be removed by minimally invasive surgery, which is less traumatizing and has a faster recovery process. The choice of minimally invasive surgery is related to the patient’s physical condition and the surgeon’s technical level. The specific type of splenectomy surgery should be carried out under the guidance of a specialized doctor to choose the appropriate treatment and promote the recovery of the disease.
