Splenic Procedures
Splenic procedures refer to medical interventions involving the spleen, an organ that plays a role in filtering blood and supporting the immune system. Common procedures include splenectomy, the surgical removal of the spleen, often performed to treat conditions like splenic rupture or certain blood disorders.
Other procedures may involve splenic biopsy, where a small sample of spleen tissue is taken for analysis, or splenic artery embolization, a minimally invasive technique to reduce blood flow to the spleen. These procedures aim to address various health issues while considering the spleen's important functions.
