Removal of other organ (partial) (total) refers to a medical procedure where either a part or an entire organ is removed from the body. This is typically performed when an organ is damaged beyond repair or is causing severe issues or complications that can't be resolved by other medical treatments. It can involve a variety of organs, including but not limited to the kidneys, liver, lung, spleen, or portions of the digestive tract. Common reasons for such procedures may include cancerous tumors, serious injuries, chronic diseases or infections. Symptoms leading to these procedures would depend on the affected organ but may involve persistent pain, unusual swelling, and abnormal bodily functions. A successful organ removal procedure can greatly improve the patient's overall health and wellness.
