Splenectomy, or spleen removal surgery, is a procedure performed to remove the spleen, an organ located under the ribcage on the left side. The spleen plays a crucial role in filtering blood and fighting infections. Splenectomy may be recommended for a variety of reasons, including splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), splenic rupture due to trauma, certain blood disorders (such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura or hemolytic anemia), or cancer of the spleen. As a renowned destination for medical tourism, Thailand offers high-quality and affordable splenectomy procedures performed by skilled surgeons in world-class hospitals.

Splenectomy can be performed through two main approaches: open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. In open surgery, the surgeon makes a large incision to remove the spleen. In laparoscopic surgery, several small incisions are made, and the surgeon uses a camera and specialized instruments to remove the spleen. Laparoscopic surgery typically results in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery. Thai surgeons are highly skilled in both methods, offering patients excellent outcomes with the least invasive approach possible.
Before undergoing a splenectomy in Thailand, patients undergo a thorough evaluation, which includes a physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies, such as an ultrasound or CT scan. Patients are advised to stop taking certain medications and supplements, as they may increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. When selecting a medical facility or surgeon in Thailand for a splenectomy, it is essential to consider factors like the surgeon's experience, facility accreditation, and language proficiency.
During a splenectomy, the surgeon removes the spleen while preserving nearby organs. After the spleen is removed, the incisions are closed with sutures or staples. Patients are closely monitored in the hospital for a few days to ensure a smooth recovery and prevent complications. Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery performed and the patient's overall health. After a splenectomy, patients may need to take certain precautions, such as receiving vaccines to reduce the risk of infection.
The cost of a splenectomy procedure in Thailand generally ranges from $4,500 to $7,000, depending on factors such as the surgeon's expertise, the medical facility, and the specific technique used. These costs are significantly lower than in many other countries, making Thailand a favorable destination for medical tourists. It is important to note that the quoted price includes the necessary hospital stays related to the procedure but does not include travel and accommodation expenses.

She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.

"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"Thanks for your help things went very smoothly. Your help is essential for easing my anxiety before my trip. Excellent job."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"

I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.
I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery. I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.
Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
"Everything went really well the staff were kind and helpful my experience there was very good experience"
" I returned home safe and sound, Thank you for all your help :)"
