Overview
Surgical intervention is generally not recommended for the management of sickle-cell disease. However, certain surgeries may be performed for specific complications.
Surgery
Surgical intervention is generally not recommended for the management of sickle-cell disease. However, elective splenectomy can be performed after the first episode of a splenic sequestration crisis.[1] Cholecystectomy can be done for patients who develop [[cholecystitis\\ or symptoms of gallbladder disease.[1] For patients who develop choledocholithiasis, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may be done.
