Splenectomy, or spleen removal surgery, is a procedure performed to remove the spleen, an organ located under the ribcage on the left side. The spleen plays a crucial role in filtering blood and fighting infections. Splenectomy may be recommended for a variety of reasons, including splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), splenic rupture due to trauma, certain blood disorders (such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura or hemolytic anemia), or cancer of the spleen. As a renowned destination for medical tourism, Thailand offers high-quality and affordable splenectomy procedures performed by skilled surgeons in world-class hospitals.

Splenectomy can be performed through two main approaches: open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. In open surgery, the surgeon makes a large incision to remove the spleen. In laparoscopic surgery, several small incisions are made, and the surgeon uses a camera and specialized instruments to remove the spleen. Laparoscopic surgery typically results in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery. Thai surgeons are highly skilled in both methods, offering patients excellent outcomes with the least invasive approach possible.
Before undergoing a splenectomy in Thailand, patients undergo a thorough evaluation, which includes a physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies, such as an ultrasound or CT scan. Patients are advised to stop taking certain medications and supplements, as they may increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. When selecting a medical facility or surgeon in Thailand for a splenectomy, it is essential to consider factors like the surgeon's experience, facility accreditation, and language proficiency.
During a splenectomy, the surgeon removes the spleen while preserving nearby organs. After the spleen is removed, the incisions are closed with sutures or staples. Patients are closely monitored in the hospital for a few days to ensure a smooth recovery and prevent complications. Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery performed and the patient's overall health. After a splenectomy, patients may need to take certain precautions, such as receiving vaccines to reduce the risk of infection.
The cost of a splenectomy procedure in Thailand generally ranges from $4,500 to $7,000, depending on factors such as the surgeon's expertise, the medical facility, and the specific technique used. These costs are significantly lower than in many other countries, making Thailand a favorable destination for medical tourists. It is important to note that the quoted price includes the necessary hospital stays related to the procedure but does not include travel and accommodation expenses.
