Splenic abscess is a rare infectious disease with a high mortality rate. Diagnosis of splenic abscess also faces many disadvantages due to atypical clinical symptoms, mainly based on imaging methods. There are many treatments for splenic abscesses, depending on the severity of the disease and individual patient response.

The spleen is an organ located just below your rib cage on the left side. There are many causes such as infections, liver disease, and some cancers that can cause an enlarged spleen, also known as hypersplenism. Hypersplenism often does not cause symptoms and is only discovered accidentally during a routine health check-up or due to another disease. Therefore, to treat hypersplenism, doctors need to focus on treating the disease that leads to this hypersplenism symptom.

The spleen produces white blood cells, which are the building blocks for antibodies, and it also contains a large number of lymphocytes. Removing the spleen means your immune system will be weakened.

Along with the development of science and technology, laparoscopic partial splenectomy is showing many advantages over open surgery. The role of anesthesia is indispensable for successful surgery.

Splenic artery embolization is a technique that can be selective or nonselective. The goal of this technique is to reduce the circulating blood flow to the spleen or to cause active splenic necrosis.

The spleen is the largest single lymphatic organ in the human body and is responsible for central immune and hematological functions. At the same time, the spleen can also be affected by other pathologies such as splenic trauma. At this time, a CT scan of the spleen is a useful tool to detect abnormalities in an organ located in the abdomen in a very discreet way like this.

The spleen is located just below the left rib cage and helps the body fight infections and filter old blood cells in the blood. Although it is surrounded by a tough shell and located quite deep in the abdomen, the rate of spleen rupture due to trauma ranks first among abdominal injuries, with sports accidents, punches to the abdomen, and traffic accidents being the most common causes.
