The spleen is a fascinating and mysterious organ with multiple functions. Our understanding of the spleen and its functions has improved over the years, and efforts were made to study the structure, functions, and anatomy of the spleen. The spleen is known to have a unique anatomy and physiology, and because of this, the spleen is considered an important organ for the body. The spleen acts as a filter for the blood but also has important immunological functions. Malpighi, the founder of microscopic anatomy, provided a comprehensive account of the histology and phys­iological functions of the spleen; over the past 50 years, significant advances have been made in our understanding of the spleen, its functions, and splenic surgery. The first splenectomy described in detail was carried out by Adrian Zaccarelli, in 1549. The work of Campos Christo in 1962 about the segmental anatomy of the spleen helped surgeons perform a partial splenectomy, thereby avoiding complica­tions of post splenectomy infection. With the recent advances of minimal invasive surgery, laparoscopic splenectomy and partial splenectomy have been shown to be feasible and safe both in adults and children.

Over more than 20 years of experience in the field of pediatric surgery, I decided to write this book on the spleen. This is different from any of the already written textbooks. It is actually a well-illustrated, easy to read and quick reference book. It is written in a simple, point-by-point manner, making it useful for consultant sur­geons, hematologists, pediatricians, fellows, specialists, residents, and nurses. The book covers most important areas of the spleen including its history, physiology, functions, and various diseases that affect the spleen. Splenectomy, partial splenec­tomy, and post splenectomy overwhelming sepsis are also covered, with emphasis on the most important points relevant to patient management including clinical, operative, radiological, and hand-drawn illustrations.
