Gandhi Hospital doctors remove 2.8-kg enlarged spleen in 43-year-old woman

Doctors at Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad, have successfully carried out a complex spleen removal surgery on a 43-year-old woman battling medical complications.

The patient, a resident of Warasiguda, had been experiencing abdominal pain for three months and persistent bloating for about a month before being admitted. Medical investigations revealed massive splenomegaly, a condition in which the spleen becomes abnormally enlarged, along with pancytopenia, a serious reduction in red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
