Laproscopic....that’s a small incision procedure, right? By the time he realized it’s not the spleen he’s removing through that small incision, it was probably too late.
My gallbladder was removed via laparoscopic procedure. The incision where the gallbladder was pulled out still remains a deep scar. 3 months later, I had a Whipple procedure. A nice, clean incision from just below my xyphoid process to just above my belly button. It was glued back together and left a clean line. The surgeon did the entire procedure in 4 hours start to finish. More difficult cases run up to 12 hours. I'm thankful that they didn't chose a robotic laparoscopic approach in my case.
