Patient's question:
My child is 10 years old and has had an enlarged spleen for 5 years. Should we do a spleen? How long will the treatment take to work? Please help me! Is there any good method?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the situation, it is recommended that if the spleen is done well, it is still better to do the spleen. Because it is percutaneous, no surgery is required, the risk is small, and the recovery is good and fast. For the treatment of hypersplenism with splenomegaly and pancytopenia, minimally invasive methods can be considered, such as laparoscopic splenectomy, partial radiofrequency ablation of the spleen, and partial embolization of the splenic artery. It is recommended to rest more after the operation and not to overexert yourself.
