Overview
Surgical intervention is frequently required to guarantee optimum management of the accompanying morbidity in beta-thalassemia cases. The most prevalent types of surgical complications associated with beta-thalassemia include splenectomy, cholecystectomy, leg ulcers, fractures, and extramedullary pseudotumor.
