The surgery took over 3 hours and revealed a herniation of the spleen.
The muscle had split into 2 and layers of fat had formed between the muscle.
The surgery was lengthy, intricate and our surgeons hadn’t ever seen anything like this before and was likely a traumatic injury such as a kick some time ago.
Despite the complications the surgery was successful, the spleen was placed in its correct position and drains also placed.
