Understand the procedure

What is spleen removal (splenectomy)?

Splenectomy removes the spleen. It may be proposed for selected blood disorders, enlargement, injury or other disease. The reason for removal and the infection precautions needed afterward are central to reviewing the plan.

This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Procedure information: NHS: patient information

Understand the proposed plan

What the operation may involve

Extent and approach

The proposed operation may be laparoscopic or open. Whether any spleen tissue can be preserved depends on the condition.

Reason for removal

The surgical plan should be considered alongside the blood disorder, scan findings or other problem that led to the recommendation.

Life without a spleen

The spleen helps fight infection. Vaccination, medicine advice and an illness plan should be discussed with the treating team.

Your decision, your questions

Questions for your chosen doctor

Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.

Your existing case file

Records to organise

We organise the haematology or surgical recommendation alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the general surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.

Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.

Bring together what is available

  • Haematology or surgical recommendation
  • Blood-count trends and other relevant blood reports
  • Ultrasound or CT scans showing the spleen
  • Vaccination records, current medicines and previous infection or clotting history
  • Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details

When you cannot attend yourself

How Redwood takes your case to your doctor

  1. Tell us whom you have chosen. Share the doctor’s name, hospital or clinic, and the decision you want reviewed.
  2. Prepare the case with us. We organise your existing records, treatment timeline and questions, then coordinate the appointment.
