The splenectomy procedure is performed under general anesthesia. A cannula is inserted into the abdomen to inflate it with carbon dioxide, creating space for the surgery. A laparoscope, a small camera, is used to project images of the internal organs and spleen onto a monitor. Multiple small incisions are made to insert surgical instruments. The surgeon may remove any accessory spleens, as about 15% of people have them. After separating the spleen, it is placed in a special bag, morcellated, and removed through the largest incision. If necessary, the procedure may be converted to open surgery, especially if scar tissue from previous surgeries is present. The decision is made by the surgeon based on the patient’s condition.

Gall bladder stones can be because of multiple reasons. Gall bladder stones may be a result of condensation or crystallization of excess cholesterol in the bile, overproduction of cholesterol by the liver and failure of the gallbladder to empty completely are identified as the main cause of gall bladder stones. Stones also form when the gall bladder wall is thick or diseased. The contractile capacity of the gall bladder wall reduces giving rise to stasis of bile and subsequent stone formation. Another common cause seen in these times is due to weight loss after det, exercise or after newer medications for weight loss. Weight loss of any kind which could be intentional or after any illness may give rise to formation of gall stones.
