Spleen Surgery
At the Nebraska Medical Center Dr.’s Dmitry Oleynikov, Matthew Goede, Vishal Kothari and Corrigan McBride have performed many laparoscopic Splenectomies. Three small incisions are cut at and above the belly button. Your Spleen is removed through one of these small holes. The advantage of a laparoscopic splenectomy is: less blood loss, faster recovery time, less scarring.
