How Much Does Splenectomy Cost in Turkey?

The cost of Hip Dysplasia Treatment in Turkey typically ranges between USD 6000 - USD 11500. A splenectomy is a surgical procedure wherein the spleen, located on the upper left side of the abdomen, is removed. The spleen has an essential function in filtering blood and supporting the immune system.

It is done for patients with a damaged spleen that is diseased, an enlarged spleen that has ruptured from trauma, or a spleen that is destroying too many blood cells. Depending on the patient's condition, laparoscopic splenectomies can be performed using an open or a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) approach.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Splenectomy in Turkey

  • The Type of Surgical Approach: Because laparoscopic procedures often require more sophisticated training and equipment than open procedures, they typically cost more than their open counterparts.
  • Hospital Infrastructure & Accreditation: The type of hospital in which patients receive treatment can also affect the total cost of care, particularly when the hospital is internationally accredited and considered high quality.
  • Surgeons' Qualifications: Surgeons with more education and experience, or who have completed Graduate studies outside Canada, will command a higher fee for their services.
  • Severity of the condition: Emergency splenectomy procedures, injuries sustained from physical trauma and complex congenital or hereditary blood disorders will lead to increased costs.
  • Pre-operative testing: Diagnostic procedures, including X-rays, laboratory tests (blood), cardiology assessments and anesthesia evaluations will contribute to the overall cost.
  • Post-operative hospital stay: Higher cost associated with a longer stay in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or inpatient as compared to an Independent Outpatient Procedure.
  • Prescriptions and follow-up appointments: The costs of managing patient pain, post-surgical infections, vaccinations, and required physician follow-up appointments will affect total out-of-pocket expenditures.

When a person has a diseased or damaged spleen (due to trauma, disease, etc.) that is causing harm to their body rather than being protective, it may be necessary to remove the spleen. A person can develop anemia as a result of the spleen destroying healthy red blood cells, develop low platelet counts from the same cause, and may develop frequent infections as a result of the spleen destroying their blood cells.

Persistent pain or fullness in the upper left area of your abdomen; unexplained fatigue; frequent infections; easy bruising or bleeding; symptoms of anemia (low level of red blood cells) or low platelet counts.

Before surgery, patients undergo a thorough medical examination, blood tests, diagnostic imaging (including ultrasound or CT scan), and an assessment for anaesthesia. In many instances, they are also recommended the necessary immunisations to reduce the risk of developing a post-splenectomy infection.

The two methods used to remove the spleen are laparoscopic (minimally invasive) and traditional or open splenectomy.

  • The laparoscopic method utilises very small incisions and a specialised instrument with a video camera to visualise the surgical field.
  • There is a larger incision used in the open surgery technique, which is typically used when patients have sustained trauma to the spleen or if the spleen is very large.

The choice of splenectomy type is based on the patient's medical history, spleen size, and the surgeon's experience with each approach.

Depending on the complexity of the patient's case and the surgical method used, the average time required to perform a splenectomy ranges from 1 to 3 hours. The laparoscopic technique typically will take less time to perform and patients generally recover faster with this approach compared to the traditional/open splenectomy.

  • Excessive bleeding during or after surgery
  • Infection
  • Injury to nearby organs
  • Blood clots
  • Anesthesia-related risks
  • Overwhelming Post-Splenectomy Infection (OPSI)

  • Improved blood counts
  • Relief from symptoms
  • Prevention of complications
  • Better disease control
  • Enhanced quality of life

Recovery time varies with the surgical technique employed. Recovery time for laparoscopic splenectomy is generally between two and four weeks, but recovery following open-splenic surgery may take four to six weeks. Hospital length of stay following these procedures is typically 2-7 days.

The success rates for splenectomy to treat immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) are extremely high (70-90 %), and many people have a complete or partial response to surgery. While the symptoms of ITP can typically be managed using surgery as a second-line treatment option, relapses may occur.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients are required to remain hospitalised for 3 to 7 days following splenectomy. Laparoscopic procedures generally allow shorter hospital stays, while open surgery or cases with complications may require extended monitoring and recovery time.

In addition to the procedure cost, patients may incur:
  • Pre-treatment tests
  • Medications during recovery
  • Follow-up consultations
  • Typically, patients remain in the hospital for three to seven days after splenectomy. Laparoscopic procedures typically result in a shorter hospital stay than open procedures and are associated with fewer complications.

    Long-term continuing care following splenectomy consists of periodic follow-up visits, maintaining current vaccinations to prevent infection, and, in some cases, oral antibiotics for prophylaxis.

    Pre-treatment evaluation usually includes complete blood count, liver function tests, coagulation profile, blood grouping and cross-matching, imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scan, ECG, chest X-ray, and vaccination assessment. These tests help ensure patient safety and surgical readiness.
