Splenectomy for Liver Cirrhosis and Thrombocytopenia at Dr. Hossam Hamed Center

Splenectomy is a surgical procedure performed in some cases to treat problems related to the spleen, including liver cirrhosis and thrombocytopenia. At Dr. Hossam Hamed Center, we provide specialized surgical services for these conditions with a skilled medical team equipped with the latest medical technologies.

Reasons for Splenectomy:

1. Liver Cirrhosis:
   • Liver cirrhosis can lead to increased portal vein pressure, causing splenomegaly and increasing the risk of spleen damage and thrombocytopenia.
2. Thrombocytopenia:
   • In some cases, splenectomy may be the optimal solution for treating chronic thrombocytopenia.

Surgical Procedure:

Preoperative Assessment:

• • The patient’s condition is carefully evaluated by a specialized medical team to determine the need for splenectomy and to establish an appropriate surgical plan.

Preparation for Surgery:

• • The patient is given specific instructions regarding fasting and fluid intake before the surgery, and preparatory tests such as radiography and medical analyses are conducted.

Surgery:

• • The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and the spleen is carefully removed according to the predetermined surgical plan.

Post-Surgery Care:

• • Necessary care is provided to the patient after the surgery, including pain relief medications and instructions on diet and physical activity.

Follow-Up:

• The patient is carefully monitored after surgery to ensure full recovery and to prevent complications. Regular follow-up examinations are conducted to ensure the patient’s condition remains stable.

Conclusion:

At Dr. Hossam Hamed Center, we understand the importance of splenectomy in cases of liver cirrhosis and thrombocytopenia, and we strive to provide comprehensive and specialized medical care to our patients in the best possible ways.
